select either one. Then specify the FTP home directory as volume01 and click Apply to save

the settings.

2. Create local user accounts or retrieve domain accounts from the domain controller,

depending on whether the NAS-3410 is in the workgroup mode or the domain mode.

3. Configure the folder security settings of volume01 to control user access.

Click the Set hyperlink to specify the access rights (ACL) for the FTP home directory –

volume01. These will be the accounts which are allowed to login the NAS using ftp software.

Note that the Inherited List will be cleared if you uncheck the Inherit from parent folder

check-box and click Apply button.

Now, run an FTP client to connect to 192.168.170.172. Login as the user you assign in step 3

above. Then you will be able to access volume01.

8.6 Accessing from NFS Clients

The security control of the NAS-3410 for NFS clients follows the traditional UNIX-style trust-host

mechanism and UID/GID checking. Follow the steps below to enable NFS support and export the

volume for NFS clients to mount.

1. Enable the UNIX/Linux Network support (the NFS protocol).

Open the administration page and enter the Network

ÆUNIX/Linux menu. Check the Enable

UNIX/Linux Network check-box and click Apply.

2. Go

to

the

Security

ÆAccountÆUNIX/Linux Host page and add the hosts that might be

trusted to access the NAS-3410.

3. Export the volume to NFS clients.

Go to the Security

ÆFile/Folder menu. Find the volume01 entry and click Create in the

Sharing column (or Modify if the volume has been shared). On the Property page, check

the UNIX/Linux Network (NFS) check-box and click Apply.

4. Enter

the

UNIX/Linux Setting tab. Add NFS clients to the privileged host list. And assign UID,

GID and permission octets to the exported volume.

After the volume is exported, use one of the NFS clients in the privileged host list to mount the

volume. Please login as the root and use the following command to mount volume01 under the

/mnt directory.

mount 192.168.170.172:/volume01 /mnt

Once mounted, the /mnt directory will link to volume01 and inherit the same UID, GID and

permission as you specify in the configuration steps. The users on the NFS client with proper

access rights will be able to access the /mnt directory and hence the NAS-3410.
