Adding a new Shared Folder
To add a new shared folder, enter a name for it
in the Shared Folder Name box and choose which
Disk Space it will reside in. You may also choose
which operating systems and features the share
will support by putting the appropriate checks
next to Shared Folder Support, and whether
the share supports the Recycle Bin by putting
a selecting Enable or Disable. Enter a Shared
Folder Description and a Remote Backup Password
if desired. Click Apply to build the new shared
folder.
Appletalk support is available for use with
legacy Macs. Checking “Apple” by Shared Folder
Support turns on AppleTalk, letting you use your
LinkStation with older Macs. Note that Appletalk
files are limited to 2GB maximum filesize and 32
characters for filenames. If a folder with AppleTalk
on is accessed from a modern OS through smb, these limitations will not apply.
Remote Backup Password will set a password on this share for other LinkStations who want to
use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the
share; it only pertains to remote LinkStations trying to access this share for backup tasks.
