CIFS Workgroup Sharing
Sharing a folder via CIFS
CIFS (Common Internet File System), also known as Windows Networking Sharing or SMB is a protocol that lets programs make requests for files and services on remote computers over the Internet.
To share a folder via CIFS select it and go to the CIFS menu.
Here just turn ON sharing. The shared folder will automatically receive a name for the share. You can change the default name by inserting a new name and pressing Update.
CIFS Sharing in Windows Workgroup
When the storage is part of a Windows Workgroup, you will have to join the correct workgroup from the Networking menu. Make sure that all clients that need to access the storage have joined the same workgroup.
When a windows client will connect to the storage they will be asked for a user name and a password. Since there is no centralized user management in Windows Workgroups, you will have to manually add users to the Storage on the Accounts menu.
CIFS Sharing and User Mapping in Active Directory Domain
Please refer to the CIFS in Active Directory document on how to configure CIFS Sharing and set User Mapping when using AD.
