| + | ==Summary== |
| + | |
| + | The <b>Network Shares</b> section is used to manage Network-attached storage (NAS) such as USB drives and hard drives. The {{{name}}} device supports the following file system architectures: |
| + | |
| + | <ul> |
| + | <li>FAT</li> |
| + | <li>FAT32</li> |
| + | <li>NTFS</li> |
| + | </ul> |

| + | ==Samba== |
| + | |
| + | <b>Samba</b> is a software solution for using the Server Message Block (SMB) networking protocol, which provides shared file access between nodes on a computer network. Refer to the figures and table below for more information about Samba configuration. |

| + | ===Edit Template=== |
| + | ---- |
| + | The <b>Edit Template</b> section is used to make modifications to the template that is used for generating the Samba configuration. This is the content of the <i>/etc/samba/smb.conf.template</i> file from which your Samba configuration will be generated. Values enclosed by pipe symbols ('|') should not be changed. They get their values from the 'General Settings' tab. |

| + | ===Shared directories=== |
| + | ---- |
| + | The <b>Shared Directories</b> section is used to configure access to connected storage drives or individual directories contained in those drives. A shared directory must be added before it can be configured. You can simply do that by pressing the 'Add' button. |

| + | To connect to the router's SAMBA server from Windows, specify the address in this format: |
| + | |
| + | \\smb_server_address\share_name |
| + | |
| + | Replace <i>smb_server_address</i> with the IP address of this device or SAMBA share hostname; replace <i>share_name</i> with the name of the "share" (as specified in the 'Name' field). For example: |
| + | |
| + | <i> |
| + | \\192.168.1.1\my_share |
| + | \\Router_share\johns_files |
| + | </i> |
| + | |
| + | ==Users== |
| + | |
| + | In this section you can create users that can be granted access to shared directories. To add a new user, enter a custom username, password and click the 'Add' button. |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Networking_rutos_manual_network_shares_users.png|border|class=tlt-border]] |
| + | |
