# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 cisco.example.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.example.com # x client host

Configuring File Access

Clientless SSL VPN serves remote users with HTTPS portal pages that interface with proxy CIFS and/or
FTP clients running on the ASA. Using either CIFS or FTP, clientless SSL VPN provides users with
network access to the files on the network, to the extent that the users meet user authentication
requirements and the file properties do not restrict access. The CIFS and FTP clients are transparent; the
portal pages delivered by clientless SSL VPN provide the appearance of direct access to the file systems.

When a user requests a list of files, clientless SSL VPN queries the server designated as the master
browser for the IP address of the server containing the list. The ASA gets the list and delivers it to the
remote user on a portal page.

Clientless SSL VPN lets the user invoke the following CIFS and FTP functions, depending on user
authentication requirements and file properties:

Navigate and list domains and workgroups, servers within a domain or workgroup, shares within a
server, and files within a share or directory

Create directories

Download, upload, rename, move, and delete files
