Description

UI Component

or Object from the StoreAll REST API Mode menu. This option defines which mode's syntax
will be accepted by this API share. For example, if object mode is selected, then HTTP
requests using the File-Compatible mode syntax will not be understood and will most likely
return an error.

Default Permissions

For File-compatible shares, new files uploaded via the HTTP share will be given these
permissions on the file system. The value is in standard UNIX octal notation, the default
giving read-write permission to the owning user and group (the 77) and read-only
permission to everyone else (the 5). This default permission is ignored when creating
directories, which will always be set to 0755.

For object mode shares, this setting is ignored. Containers (directories, on the file
system) are always created with permissions 0700, and access to a container’s objects
by other users is controlled at the container level instead (see

“Set Container Permission”

(page 215)

). Permissions cannot be assigned to objects individually.

The Enable WebDAV option is disabled for HTTP-StoreAll REST API shares and it is shown
as false because every StoreAll REST API share is also a WebDAV-disabled share.

Enable WebDAV

If Browseable is set to true, the user can issue HTTP GET requests for any directory path
within the share's directory tree, and that directory's listing of files and subdirectories will

Browseable

be returned in the HTTP response. An error will be returned if the user issuing the HTTP
request does not have file system permission to navigate down the path to that directory
and read its contents.

Set the Browseable field to true if you want the EQWSI searche results to be browseable
from the Windows client.

EQWSI is only supported on file compatible mode REST API shares and standard HTTP
shares.

If Browseable is set to false, a GET request for a directory path will always return an error,
regardless of user’s permissions.

Specify whether the share is read-only. If you select false, clients will have write access
on the share.

Read-Only

Set the Anonymous field to false only if you want to restrict access to specific users. The
Anonymous field must be set to false when an HTTP-StoreAll REST API share in object
mode is being created.

Anonymous

If you are creating a file compatible mode API share that has EQWSI enabled, then set
the Anonymous field to true.

To create an EQWSI-enabled share, select true. For more information about EQWSI-enabled
shares, see

“Express Query Windows Search Integration (EQWSI)” (page 308)
