You can update a share to change the file system path, permissions, and access configuration.
- Access the Update Share window by clicking Update Share (
) icon in the Share detail window.
- (Optional) Enter a new path in the Modify File System Path field.
-
(Optional) In the
Access Configuration field, enter IP addresses of the clients who can access the share (up to 5,957 characters allowed in this field).
What to type Means Example Blank or * Partial addresses using wildcards. All clients can access the share. 10.168.*.* Clients with matching addresses can access the share. Specific addresses Only clients with the specified IP address can access the share. 10.168.20.2 Specific address range Only clients with an IP address within the specified IP address range (10.168.20.0 to 10.168.20.255) can access the share. 10.168.20.0/16 Partial addresses using wildcards Clients with matching addresses can access the share. 10.168.*.* Permissions What to type Permissions granted (rw) read-write (ro) read only Note: The order in which you specify the entries is important. Take the following two lines:- *(ro)
- 10.1.2.38(rw)
The first grants read-only access to all clients, whereas the second grants read/write access to the specified client. The second line is redundant, however, as the first line matches all clients. You must transpose the lines to grant write access to 10.1.2.38. Examples:
- 10.1.2.38(ro) grants read-only access to the client whose IP address is 10.1.2.38.
- 10.1.2.0/24(ro) grants read-only access to all clients with an IP address in the range 10.1.2.0 to 10.1.2.255
- 10.1.*.*(rw) grants read-write access to all the matching clients.
- (Optional) Select the supplied group, for example, Everyone, and select permissions.
