Create a New File Share

To create a new file share for the network follow these steps.

1. Select Samba from the Service list 
2. Select the server/servers you want to modify from the list of Samba servers in the Server Tree
3. Choose to either "Create a new share" or to "Create a new copy".

   

4. If you choose to create a copy you will need to choose and existing share in which you want to use as a template for creating a new share. Once copied you need to select view all shares to change the directory being shared and any other options you choose.

   

5. To create a share from scratch choose "Create a new share". On the next screen you will need to enter the share name as you want it to appear to other network hosts and then specify the directory to be shared.

   

6. Optionally you can also select whether NetDirector should automatically create the directory if it doesn't exist already and whether it is available and browseable. Also you can add a comment about the share that other network hosts can see.
7. Once done click on the create button and the changes will be saved. If you want to create more options for this share you'll need to go to the "view all shares" area and modify them there.
8. After choosing create you'll need to select close to go back to the main screen where you'll need to decide if you want to make more changes to samba, apply all queued changes immediately or schedule them to occur at a later date.
