A shared folder is a place where files can be accessed by a group of people using different methods, or protocols. Since NethServer Enterprise is a modular system, the actual methods depends on what modules have been installed.
The available methods/protocols are:
A shared folder is always owned by a group of users (Owning group). Each member of the group is allowed to read the folder contents. Optionally the group can be entitled to modify the folder contents and the read permission can be extended to everyone accessing the system. This simple permission model is based on the traditional UNIX file system permissions.
Access privileges can be refined further with the ACL tab, allowing individual users and other groups to gain read and write permissions. This extended permission model is based on the POSIX ACL specification.
The Web access method allows the connection of a web browser to a shared folder using the HTTP protocol. Web resources are identified by a string, the Uniform Resource Locator, or URL.
For instance, if docs is the name of the shared folder, the URLs
that allow the access to it could be:
http://192.168.1.1/docs
https://192.168.1.1/docs
http://myserver/docs
http://www.domain.com/docs
http://docs.domain.com/
Each URL has three components:
http:// or https://),192.168.1.1, myserver, www.domain.com),docs).The Web address radio group defines the «path» component.
docs in the example above.http://docs.domain.com.The Virtual host selector lists all Server alias defined under the DNS page. «Any» means the host part is not considered to map the URL to the shared folder.
The web access is anonymous and read-only. There are some options that can be tweaked to restrict the access.
The Allow .htaccess and write permissions overrides check box activates a special Apache configuration designed to host a simple web application on a shared folder. It allows overriding the default Apache configuration and grants Apache the write permissions on specific sub-directories.
Advertencia
If a shared folder contains executable code, such as PHP scripts, user permissions and security implications must be evaluated carefully.
If the check box is enabled
.htaccess is loaded as configuration for
Apache..htwritable positioned in the root level of the
shared folder may contain a list of sub-directories where Apache is
granted write permission. The syntax of the file is one
sub-directory for each line. Lines beginning with # are
comments. When the content of .htwritable changes, the
Reset permission button must be pressed again to
propagate the file system permissions.Nota
Shared folders are a powerful tool but are not meant to be a
complete web hosting solution! For advanced Apache and
virtual host setups drop a .conf file under the
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory. Refer to the official
Apache documentation for this.
SMB/CIFS is a widley adopted protocol that allows to share files across a computer network. In a way similar to Web URLs above, the shared folder name becomes the SMB «share name».
Por ejemplo, las direcciones de red SMB de la carpeta documentos podrían ser
\\192.168.1.1\docs
\\MYSERVER\docs
Compatible SMB clients can be used to set special ACLs on a specific file or sub-directory. At any time, the Reset permissions button restores UNIX and POSIX permissions according to what is defined in the General and ACL pages.
If the option Network recycle bin is enabled, removed files are actually moved into a special «wastebasket» directory. The Keep omonym files keeps distinct file names inside the wastebasket directory, preventing overwrites.
Si Guest access está habilitado, las credenciales de autenticación proporcionadas se consideran válidas.
Si Navegable está habilitado, la carpeta compartida aparece públicamente. Esto no afecta al permiso para usar este recurso.
