							Step 1 is to select the volume (file system) the share will be using. Each volume listed is a partition, described as a “Device” and “Mount Point” as shown on
the View Drive Information page. Choose the desired partition and click NEXT.
Step 2 is to define the actual share. 
To create a new folder and share it, type a name into “New Shared Folder Name” and click the NEXT button directly beneath it.
To share an existing folder, select it from the “Existing Folder” pull-down and click the next button directly beneath it.
To share the entire partition, Type a name for the share into the “New Shared Folder Name” and click “Share Entire Disk.”
New Share names and Existing folders must be named according to these rules:
1. The name must begin with a letter.
2. The name must be upper or lower case letters or numerals only.
3. The name may not have any “special characters” - punctuation, symbols and spaces are all invalid.
4. The name must be unique, without regard to upper or lower case in the names. For example, a NAS unit with a share called “Share” may not add a new
share called “Share” or “SHARE” or “share” - not even on a different drive.
5. If the  name  matches an existing  folder  on  the  selected  volume,  it must match  exactly,  with  respect to  upper  and  lower  case. In  other  words, You  may
create a share called “User1” if there is already a folder called “User1” on the volume; however, you may not create a share called “User1” on a volume that
has an existing folder called “USER1” or “user1,” this will produce an error.
NOTE: An  “Entire Disk” share may not  be created on a volume that  has folder shares, and folder shares may not be created on a volume that
already has an Entire Disk share.

							Step 3 is to set the security options for users. A permission level for “Everyone” as well as each user defined on the NAS unit is listed, with settings for the
SMB and FTP servers.
There are three levels of permission: Full, Read Only, and None.
Full permission allows full access to the share: reading files, creating new files, renaming, overwriting or deleting files is all permitted.
Read Only permission allows the client to access the files and read them, but will not be permitted to write anything to the share.
“None” permission prohibits all access. A share will not be visible to users with “None” permissions set.
The “Everyone” setting defines the minimum permission for the share. If “Everyone” is set to “Full” for the share, all users are also automatically set to “full”
regardless of how their permissions are set. If “Everyone” is set to “Read Only,” Users may be granted Read Only or Full access to the share – any users set
to “None” for the share are automatically set to Read Only instead. If “Everyone” is set to “None,” then users may be granted any permissions.
Using  shares with  Read  Only or  Full  permissions set for  “Everyone”  will  not  require  username  or  password  if the  client  has not already given  them  using
SMB. On FTP, “Everyone” permissions relate to the “Anonymous” user.
Rename A Shared Folder
Changes the name of the directory as well as the share name for an existing shared folder. Select the share to change and type in a new name, then click
“Rename Shared Folder.”
NOTE: Share names must follow these rules:
1. The name must begin with a letter.
2. The name must be upper or lower case letters or numerals only.
3. The name may not have any “special characters” - punctuation, symbols and spaces are all invalid.
4. The name must be unique, without regard to upper or lower case in the names. For example, a NAS unit with a share called “Share” may not add a new
share called “Share” or “SHARE” or “share” - not even on a different drive.
Remove a Shared Folder
Deletes a share from the NAS unit. As a precaution this screen requires the word “yes” is typed in as confirmation. After typing “yes”  into the confirmation
box,  click “”Remove  JUST The Share, And  Leave  The Folder On  Disk”  to  remove  the  share  without destroying  any data, or “Delete  The Share  AND  The
Folder On Disk” to remove the share and also delete the folder and all of its contents.
NOTE: Removing an “Entire Disk” share will never destroy any data, regardless of which button is clicked.
Update Security Settings
Changes SMB and FTP permissions for a share for each user and the general permission for “Everyone.” Select the share to change, then  click next and
another page will appear with current permissions. Make desired changes and click Update to apply.

							Getting Started with MLDonkey
MLDonkey is a powerful, multi-protocol Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client included with the NAS unit. The features and capabilities of this tool are beyond the scope
of  this  user  guide,  the  steps  below  will  show  how  to  get  MLDonkey  up  and  running.  For  more  information  on  how  to  use  MLDonkey,  visit
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net.
MLDonkey Basic Setup
The MLDonkey client requires one partition formatted with either ext3 or XFS. The NAS units format utility can format one physical unit with a single partition
using all space if needed.
Under the P2P/MLDonkey tab, choose the drive you wish to create the file structure on and click Save. Please note: this menu will permit setting up folders
on incompatible file systems. If this is done, MLDonkey will not start or may not be able to download files.
When the folder structure is set up, a page will appear stating this is done. Click the START button. NOTE: The MLDonkey setup page will create a share on
the selected drive called MLDonkey. This share will be configured with “None” permissions to “Everyone” as well as all existing users.
Next, a new page will appear stating MLDonkey is running. Click the link at the bottom of the page that reads “Launch MLDonkey Control Panel.”
A new tab will appear in the browser with the MLDonkey web interface. If MLDonkey is not fully initialized yet, the browser may report a failure to connect. If
this happens, wait about one minute and try again, either by refreshing the page or clicking a “try again” button – this step varies depending on the browser
used.
When first setting up, a prompt appears warning there is no password for the admin account. Click the space between the “DL” and “Input” buttons, then type
the command “useradd admin” as shown, then add a password after a space.
NOTE:  The  MLDonkey  admin  account  is  not  the  same  account  as  the  NAS  units  web  interface  admin  account.  It  is  recommended  that  the  password
matches for simplicity, but not necessary.
MLDonkey will perform most of the remaining steps automatically and connect to some servers on the Donkey network.
To download a file using the Donkey network, begin by clicking search, then enter some criteria and click the Search button. After a query message appears,
click the Search Results button.
To download a Torrent, on the command bar type dllink followed by a space and the full URL path to the .Torrent file and press Enter or click Input. (example:
dllink http://sampletorrent.com/path/dot-torrentfile.torrent). MLDonkey will parse the download and add it to the download queue automatically.
Files queued for download will appear in the MLDonkey share in the incoming/files folder when when complete.
NOTE: this folder has read-only permissions and cannot be changed.
