Managing the Shares Creating a Share 6 STEP 3 In the Share field, enter a name for the share. STEP 4 From the Location field, select the volume on which you want to configure the share. STEP 5 Add a description or comment about the share in the Comment field. This comment appears when you browse the NSS from My Network Places (as the tooltip when you hover over the share, or if you select the Details viewing mode). This field is optional. STEP 6 Click the Share Attributes options to configure the share as public and if public, read-only. (These settings are optional.) • Public: Enable all users to access the share. To make an NFS share world readable/writable, select this checkbox, and ensure the Read-Only checkbox is also deselected. To make an NFS share world readable, select this checkbox, and ensure the Read-Only checkbox is also selected. • Read-Only: If the share is configured as a public share, allow the users read-only access to the share. Users can access and view the share but cannot write to the share. (For NFS shares, refer to the information stated in the Public field.) • DFS Root: Set the share to be a Microsoft DFS root. The share must be set as a DFS root when it is created. You cannot set it as a DFS root after it is created or revert a DFS root share to be a regular share. When you set this option, the CIFS Default File Creation Attributes and Protocol checkboxes are greyed out as they are not relevant. Follow the steps in "Adding a DFS Shared Folder," on page108"to add shared folder links to the root. STEP 7 Set the Allow users to delete or rename other users' files and folders field as required. This field determines whether users who are assigned to a share can delete or rename files or folders within that share that they do not own. It is important to consider interoperability with applications such as MS Word 2007 and Photoshop. For example, if this field is not selected and you gave a user write permissions to a file and that user tried to open, edit, and save the file, the save would fail due to the fact that Word sets up a temporary file and then attempts to delete it and replace it with the new version. Not all applications work this way. Always consider the applications used by your users to determine how you want to set this field. • Select this field: By selecting this field, users with write permissions can rename or delete files or folders within the assigned share even though they are not the owners of the files or folders.

Managing the Shares
Creating a Share
Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
103
6
STEP 3
In the
Share
field, enter a name for the share.
STEP 4
From the
Location
field, select the volume on which you want to configure
the share.
STEP 5
Add a description or comment about the share in the
Comment
field. This
comment appears when you browse the NSS from
My Network Places
(as the
tooltip when you hover over the share, or if you select the
Details viewing
mode).
This field is optional.
STEP 6
Click the
Share Attributes
options to configure the share as public and if public,
read-only. (These settings are optional.)
•
Public
: Enable all users to access the share. To make an NFS share world
readable/writable, select this checkbox, and ensure the Read-Only
checkbox is also deselected. To make an NFS share world readable, select
this checkbox, and ensure the Read-Only checkbox is also selected.
•
Read-Only
: If the share is configured as a public share, allow the users
read-only access to the share. Users can access and view the share but
cannot write to the share. (For NFS shares, refer to the information stated in
the
Public
field.)
•
DFS Root
: Set the share to be a Microsoft DFS root. The share must be set
as a DFS root when it is created. You cannot set it as a DFS root after it is
created or revert a DFS root share to be a regular share. When you set this
option, the C
IFS Default File Creation Attributes
and
Protocol
checkboxes
are greyed out as they are not relevant. Follow the steps in
“Adding a DFS
Shared Folder,” on page108
“to add shared folder links to the root.
STEP 7
Set the
Allow users to delete or rename other users’ files and folders
field as
required. This field determines whether users who are assigned to a share can
delete or rename files or folders within that share that they do not own.
It is important to consider interoperability with applications such as MS Word
2007 and Photoshop. For example, if this field is not selected and you gave a user
write permissions to a file and that user tried to open, edit, and save the file, the
save would fail due to the fact that Word sets up a temporary file and then
attempts to delete it and replace it with the new version. Not all applications work
this way. Always consider the applications used by your users to determine how
you want to set this field.
•
Select this field
: By selecting this field, users with write permissions can
rename or delete files or folders within the assigned share even though they
are not the owners of the files or folders.
