How do I access files?
Any modern computer will see it as a shared drive.
If it doesn’t appear as a shared network drive in your file browser, you can follow these steps:
- File access instructions for mac:
- https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204445
- The fileserver address is
smb://file.localif you can’t just browse the network
- File access instructions for windows:
- Opening by clicking the network drive in the file browser often does not work.
- First make sure “SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support” is enabled in Windows Features (and you’re connected to the Ace Member network).
- Then type “\\file” into the address bar of the file browser. Thanks to @graf on slack for figuring this out.
- Or, try this:
- Open Control Panel and go to”Network and Internet”, then “Network and Sharing Centre”
Click “Change advanced sharing settings”
Expand “All Networks”
Make sure “Turn off password protected sharing” is on and “Save changes”
Users and Permissions
Although we can configure users, we don’t. Everything is kept in the Public share and we have not created users. This is the same wild-west layout of the current file server. It is also the easiest to maintain. If there is a need for a restricted-access share, it can be done through the web administration interface.
Web Administration Interface:
[http://file.local http://file.local] username: admin password: (MIA.. help will be needed))
