Select a shared folder to publish.
Notes:
• For best results, create a new dedicated share for WebAccess.
• When accessing shared folders through WebAccess from a remote location, the username and password may
be required for certain operations. For best results, create a user account with permissions on the WebAccess
share before using WebAccess.

Under "LAN Protocol Support", check "WebAccess" and click OK.
Notes:
• The following levels of security are available:
"Allow Anonymous" - Anyone can access (view) shared folders.
"Allow All Groups and Users" - All groups and users registered on the LinkStation or TeraStation can use
WebAccess.
"Use Inherited Folder Permissions" - Users and groups have the same access permissions with WebAccess that
they do locally. If access restrictions are not set for the shared folder, then this option will not be shown.
• When a user or group can access a folder through WebAccess depends on a combination of WebAccess
settings and the shared folder's settings.
