Chapter 2 Web Configurator Basics • Unicode is supported for share names, although your FTP client must support UTF-8. Full support should be available in all Windows versions after Windows 2000. 2.5.6 Share Paths A share path is the full path to a folder on a volume that will be shared, for example, /mynsa/topsecret/ugs/. This is independent from a "share name" which is the name shown for this share when accessing the share via CIFS or FTP. The path should start with a '/' (forward slash) followed by a parent folder, child folders leading to the folder that is to be shared. The share path can include all characters including unicode characters (that is, you can use Chinese folder names for example) except for the following characters: • \ [backslash] this will be converted to forward slash and interpreted as a path delimiter • / [forward slash] this is always interpreted as a path delimiter, so a folder cannot include it in its folder name • : [colon] • * [asterisk] • ? [question mark] • "[double quote] • < [less than] • > [greater than] • | [pipe] Please also note the following as regards share paths: • If the share path is missing the root path slash (the first forward slash), the system will automatically add the initial slash. • If the share path is missing the end trailing slash, the system will automatically add the trailing slash. • If the share path has '\' (backslashes) instead of '/' (forward slashes) they will all be automatically converted to forward slashes. • Share paths are case sensitive. • The maximum share path length is 600 characters (the entire path string including slashes) • The share path cannot be blank • You cannot have an empty folder name, that is, two consecutive slashes (for example, '/My//Corner/') • Each individual folder in the path (that is, the content between the slashes) cannot exceed 255 characters NSA-220 Plus User's Guide 39
