8 Instructing your End-Users End users, using a Windows, UNIX, Linux, or Mac computer can easily access NSS storage. Once the end user logs into the NSS using their username and password, the shares to which the end user has read or read-write privileges appear. The NSS supports three file-sharing protocols: CIFS, NFS, and FTP. The steps to access the NSS storage depend on which file-sharing protocol the end user chooses to use: CIFS, NFS, or FTP as well as the end user's operating system. Logging into the CIFS Shares with Administrator Privileges To log into CIFS shares with administrator privileges: STEP 1 There are a variety of ways to access the CIFS shares on the NSS. As the administrator, you also have read-write access to a hidden share called "storage". This share gives access to all data on the system (including user home directories). As the administrator, you can read, write, and delete all files and folders regardless of who owns them. For this reason, make sure you change the default administrator password. • From the My Computer window, type the NSS \\ or in the Address bar. (Where the refers to your NSS hostname and refers to the IP address of your NSS. For example, "\\NAS0123456789ab" or "\\192.168.1.2".) To access the hidden storage folder, type the hostname or IP address followed by "\storage". For example, "\\NAS0123456789ab\storage". • Browse for the NSS from the My Network Places window. To access the hidden storage folder, make sure you add "\storage" to the address. • Map the NSS to a network drive. To access the hidden storage folder, make sure you add "\storage" to the address. The Login window appears. STEP 2 Enter the user name "admin" and then enter your administrator password. Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 142
