6. On the “Settings” page, enter the URL path and fill in the remaining details. Click Next. On
the Settings page, set the appropriate parameters for the share. Note the following:
•
When specifying the URL Path, do not include http://<IP address> or any variation
of this in the URL path. For example, /reports/ is a valid URL path. The beginning and
ending slashes of the path are optional. For example, /reports/, reports, and
/reports
are valid entries and will be stored as /reports/.
•
Default Permissions: New files uploaded via the HTTP share are given default permissions
in standard UNIX octal notation. The owner user and group receive read-write permissions
(77) and everyone else receive read-only permission (5). This default permission is ignored
when creating directories, which are set to 0755.
•
When the WebDAV feature is enabled for a standard HTTP share, the share becomes a
readable and writable medium with locking capability. The primary user can make edits,
while other users can only view the resource in read-only mode. The primary user must
unlock the resource before another user can make changes.
•
Set the Anonymous field to false only if you want to restrict access to specific users.
Browseable: Keep in mind the following for a standard HTTP share. :
◦ If Browseable is set to true, the user can issue HTTP GET requests for any directory
path within the share's directory tree, and that directory's listing of files and
subdirectories will be returned in the HTTP response. An error will be returned if the
user issuing the HTTP request does not have file system permission to navigate down
the path to that directory and read its contents.
◦ If Browseable is set to false, a GET request for a directory path will always return
an error, regardless of user’s permissions.
