Access Shares From a Network-Attached
Device
You can remotely access shares and snapshots on your storage system using other
network-attached devices, such as a laptop or tablet. The network-attached device must
support one of the enabled file-sharing protocols. How a share is accessed depends
on the OS of the network-attached device, the file-sharing protocols that you enabled
for share access, and the access rights that you granted (see Shared Folder Access
Rights on page 69).
Note: For snapshots to be accessible to users from their network-attached devices,
you must select the Allow snapshot access check box on the share settings window.
For more information, see View and Change the Properties of a Shared Folder on page
64.
Use a Web Browser
You can use a web browser to access files that are stored on your ReadyNAS system.
Note: If you are accessing your files from a network that is outside your LAN, you must
configure port forwarding on your router. For more information, see your router user
manual.
To access a share using a web browser:
1. Ensure that the HTTP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. Navigate to the ReadyNAS system and share you want to access using the following
syntax: http://<hostname>/<share>
where:
•
<hostname> is the name that you assigned to your ReadyNAS system or the
default host name if you did not change it.
•
<share> is the name of the share that you want to access.
Note: If you cannot access the ReadyNAS using its host name, try entering
http://<ReadyNAS IP address> in the Windows Explorer address bar instead.
<ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
