User's Manual

By default, Maestro will grant remote users Read/Write access to the shared
resource. If you want to allow this type of access to remote users but prohibit
unauthorized access, enter a password in the field labeled “Read/Write
Password” and click <OK>. If you want to grant Read Only access to remote
users, select the “Read Only Access” entry. You may also set a Read Only
Password to prevent unauthorized access. Finally, if you select “Depends on
Password,” you may set two different passwords, one for Read/Write access
and the other for Read Only access, to allow full access to some users and
partial access to others.
At any time, you can reset the access options for a particular drive or folder
by highlighting its entry in the “Select Directories to share” list and clicking
the <Properties> button.
Warning!
Proxim recommends that you establish passwords for each drive
that you share on the local area network. Depending on the type
of Internet connection you have, others may be able to see your
computers in their Network Neighborhood and have unautho-
rized access to your drives.
Once you have determined which drives or directories to share with other
users, you now need a method to access these shared files from remote
computers. The Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool includes a feature
called Remote Drive Sharing that provides a computer with access to shared
files over the network. This feature is described below.
