User Manual

Table Of Contents
Note: Your ReadyNAS system does not support NIS because it is unable to correlate
NIS information with SMB user accounts. In mixed environments where you want SMB
and NFS integration, manually specify the user ID and group ID of the user and group
accounts to match your NIS or other Linux or Unix server setting.
To access an SMB share using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t smb -o username=<user name>,password=<password>] //<ReadyNAS
IP address>/ <share name> <mount point>
<user name> and <password> match the user name and password on the
ReadyNAS system.
<ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
<share name> is the name of the share that you want to access.
<mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
To access an NFS share using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:
1. Ensure that the NFS file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. Using a terminal program, enter the following command:
mount [-t nfs] <ReadyNAS IP address>:/<volume name>/<share name> <mount
point>
<ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
<volume name> is the name of the volume on which the share resides.
<share name> is the name of the share that you want to access.
<mount point> is the name of an empty folder on the Linux or Unix device.
Use FTP and FTPS
You can use FTP and FTPS to access any shares that are enabled for the FTP and FTPS
file-sharing protocols.
For better security, use an FTPS client to connect to your ReadyNAS using the FTP
file-sharing protocol. With FTPS, your password and data are encrypted.
