ReadyNAS OS 6.1 The following table lists the file-sharing protocols that your ReadyNAS storage system supports. Table 4. Supported file-sharing protocols Protocol Description Recommendation SMB (Server Message Block) Used mainly by Microsoft Windows computers and sometimes by Mac OS X computers, this protocol is enabled by default. It is sometimes referred to as the CIFS (Common Internet File Service) file-sharing protocol. SMB uses TCP/IP. If Windows users access your storage system, enable this protocol. NFS (Network File Service) Linux and Unix computers use NFS. Mac OS X users can access NFS shared folders through console shell access. Your ReadyNAS system supports NFS v3 over UDP and TCP and NFS v4 over TCP. If Linux or Unix users access your storage system, enable this protocol. AFP (Apple File Protocol) Mac OS X computers use AFP. Your ReadyNAS system supports AFP 3.3. If only Mac OS X users access your storage system, enable this protocol. However, in a mixed Windows and Mac environment, NETGEAR recommends using SMB only. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (FTP with SSL encryption) Rsync HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP with SSL encryption) Many public file upload and download sites use FTP. The ReadyNAS supports anonymous or user access for FTP clients. You can elect to set up port forwarding to nonstandard ports for passive FTP, allowing clients to initiate a connection to the ReadyNAS. If users access your storage system using FTP, enable this protocol. Fast file-transfer protocol that uses a delta-transfer algorithm to send only the differences between the source file and the existing file. If users access your storage system from a device that supports Rsync, enable this protocol. Used on the World Wide Web. If users access your storage system from a device with a web browser, including a smartphone or tablet computer, enable this protocol. Shared Folders 42
