4.2 Sharing folders via the NFS server
Turn your NAS into an NFS server and allow Linux users on the LAN to mount your shared
folders.
Actions for the administrator
1. Create user accounts, and assign shared folders and access rights. See 3.3.11 ~ 3.3.13
for details.
. Enable the NFS server via the Web GUI. See 3.3.6 Enabling the NFS server for details.
Actions for a Linux client
1. Run the following command to mount the assigned shared folder.
mount -t nfs [NAS IP address]:/[shared folder name] [directory to mount]
NOTES:
For example, if your NAS IP is 192.168.1.2 and you assign Linux as the shared folder name
under the /mnt/share directory, then the Linux client can use the following command to
mount the Linux folder.
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/Linux /mnt/share
. Log in NAS using your username and password.
. Access files from the shared folder.
4.3 Sharing folders via the Samba server
The Samba server, always enabled on your NAS, allows users on the LAN to access your
shared folders via the SMB protocol.
Actions for the administrator
Create user accounts, and assign shared folders and access rights. See 3.3.11 ~ 3.3.13 for
details.
