For SMB, NFS, FTP, Rsync, and HTTP, you can configure access rights for users on hosts. Host settings do not apply to AFP. The access rights that you configure for one host apply to all users on the host. For NFS, you can also configure the access rights that apply to any host, and, for individual hosts, you can configure whether root access is granted.
To add a host and configure host access settings:
1. On the folder settings pop-up screen, click the Network Access tab.
2. Click one of the file-sharing protocol buttons:
-
SMB
-
NFS
-
FTP
-
Rsync
-
HTTP
The screen adjusts to display the access properties for the selected protocol.
3. Click the Hosts tab on the left side of the pop-up screen.
Note: If the host access list is empty, any host is allowed to access the shared folder. If you add at least one host to the list, access to the shared folder is restricted to hosts on the list only.
4. Click the + button (
).
The Add Host pop-up screen displays.
5. Enter the host IP address in the IP address field.
6. Click the Add button.
The host is added to the host access list.
Note: For SMB, the access rights for each host depend on the access rights of the user.
7. (Optional for Rsync) Set the default access rights for users on the listed hosts by selecting one of the following options from the drop-down list:
-
Read Only. The users on the listed hosts are only permitted to read files on the shared folder.
-
Read/Write. The users on the listed hosts are permitted to read, edit, create, and delete files on the shared folder.
8. (Optional for NFS, FTP, and HTTP) For each host on the host access list, select one of the following check boxes:
-
Read Only. The users on the selected host are only permitted to read files on the shared folder.
-
Read/Write. The users on the selected host are permitted to read, edit, create, and delete files on the shared folder.
Note: For NFS only, you can set access rights for AnyHost, which is a default entry in the host access list. You cannot grant root access to AnyHost.
9. (Optional for NFS) For each host for which you want to grant the users root access, select the Root Access check box.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved.
11. Click the OK button.
Your changes are saved and the pop-up screen closes.
