Managing Folders

The Volumes page allows you to open, or share, a number of volumes on the server. The page displays an Object/Task Selector that has the following columns:

Volume Name—Lists each volume by name. To create, open, delete, or configure the properties of a given volume, select the check box next to the name of the volume you want to modify.
Total Size—Shows the total size of the volume.
Free Space—Shows the amount of free space available on the volume.
Share Type—Indicates the type of sharing in effect for the folder:
W = Windows (CIFS) Sharing
U = UNIX (NFS) Sharing
F = FTP Sharing
H = Web (HTTP) Sharing
A = AppleTalk Sharing

The Object/Task Selector lists up to the first 100 folders found. To navigate among the list of folders using the Object/Task Selector, you can search by the fields available in the Search list, and then enter the search criteria in the box to the left of the Go button, or you can scroll through the list. In addition, if there are more than 100 folders, you can view folders in batches of 100 using the Page Up and Page Down buttons to the right of the Go button.
