The Welcome Screen
The
Welcome Screen
allows you to select
Browse Shared Folders
or
Configure Device
. The
Welcome Screen
opens only if you have selected to allow Web Browser Access for one or more Shared Folders.
Your media vault defaults to
No Access
for Web Browser access, so you must change this setting to enable this
method for accessing your files. You can change to Web Browser Access on the
Create a new Shared Folder
screen or on the
Modify an Existing Shared Folder
. On both screens, the
Web Browser Access
option
appears under
Permit Access to this Folder from
.
Web Browser Access refers to
HTTP access
. HTTP access lets you access folders and files on your media vault in
a browser window. You should use HTTP access cautiously because HTTP access also lets you use a browser to
access media vault files on computers outside of your
local area network
(LAN). To keep your files secure, you
should only enable HTTP access if you understand network security.
