The ReadyDATA supports the following file-sharing protocols:
-
SMB (Server Message Block). Used mainly by Microsoft Windows computers and sometimes by Mac OS X computers for share access. SMB uses TCP/IP. SMB is enabled by default.
-
AFP (Apple File Protocol). AFP is used by Mac OS X computers for share access. AFP is enabled by default.
-
NFS (Network File Service). Used by Linux and Unix clients for share access. Mac OS X users can access NFS shares through console shell access. The ReadyDATA supports NFS over UDP and TCP. NFS is disabled by default.
-
FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The ReadyDATA supports anonymous and controlled user access for FTP clients. You can elect to set up port forwarding to nonstandard ports for better security when you access files over the Internet. FTP is disabled by default.
-
SNMP. Lets you monitor but not manage the ReadyDATA over a network management system. SNMP is disabled by default.
-
SSH. Lets you remotely manage the ReadyDATA over an SSH connection. SSH is disabled by default.
By default, SMB, and AFP are enabled; FTP, NFS, SSH, and SNMP are disabled.
