Create CIFS Share

A share can be mounted by multiple client computers. This allows multiple
users to access common files and file systems. If you chose CIFS when creating
a file system or share, or modifying a share, the CIFS Share window appears:

1. Enter the share name that Windows networks use to denote the share.

2. Choose settings from the following:

-

Writable

: If set, users can write and read this share.

-

Public

: If set, access by the user Guest is allowed, making the share

available to unknown users.

-

Browseable

: If set, share name is visible in Windows network

neighborhood (using Samba).

-

Available

: If set, clients can connect to the share or file system, and access

its resources. If not set, clients cannot access the share or file system.

-

Case Sensitive

: If set, the system sees filenames as case sensitive.
