To create a new share on a logical volume:
Click on the Create icon
Assign a share name. The share name can contain up to 32 characters, including alphabetic, numeric, or
underscore.
Enter a brief description, if desired.
Select file sharing protocol. The SCM200/SCM400 supports the following file sharing protocols:
CIFS (Common Internet File System) - A standard way that clients share files across intranets.
CIFS allows Windows, Mac, or Linux clients to access folders and files stored on your
SCM200/SCM400. The access control for CIFS is set to each shared folder. You can define
access rights for each user/group where the user will need to enter his/her password for
accessing that share. When the client browses the shares via Windows Explorer, he can only
see the shares which he has been granted access rights (Read Only or Full Access) to.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - Allows access to files on SCM200/SCM400 from most computers
whether they are inside or outside your local network.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) - Allows access to folders and files on your SCM200/SCM400
using a Web browser. This method of access is unique, as most NAS boxes will not allow you to
access the files in this way. You can, quite literally, access the files on the SCM200/SCM400
from any system with a web browser regardless, including some PDA’s and cell phones.
NFS (Network File System) - Allows Linux clients or clients who have TCP/IP installed to remotely
access folders and files on your SCM200/SCM400.
