Notes:
• The example above shows access restriction by user. To restrict access by group, click the Local Groups tab and
select group permissions.
• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access. The most
restrictive access always applies.
• The following characters are handled differently by Mac OS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when
sharing data between Mac OS and Windows:
• Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on
a Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With OS X 10.2
or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following
characters.
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : " , | *
• Do not use any of the following words as a username or group name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp,
sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none,
hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql, splx
• Do not use any of the following words as the name of a shared folder. These words are reserved for internal use
by the TeraStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd,
usbdisk# (where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
• Don't use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:
• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.
• Configure hidden and read-only file attributes in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not
supported and may cause unexpected behavior.
• Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.
• If shared folders are accessed from a Macintosh, information files for the Macintosh may be generated
automatically. Do not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from
a Macintosh.
• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShare Server; the zone cannot be specified.
• When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as
date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.
• Hard drive capacity is shown in Settings in actual gigabytes. The Properties window in Windows may show GiB
instead, which will be a smaller number.
• If any settings are changed during a file transfer, the transfer process may abort.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a
power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:
- Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.
