im trying to set up security to prompt for a user name and password on certain folders and files.. I would not want them to be able to be opened with out authentication.
How do i do this? i read the manual but all i see is write protecting files.. not from reading/displaying.
thanks!
I've tried this, I added permissions to a particular folder via the 343 page, under Advance -> Network Access. It showed up as another volume on the device, but it was still readable/writable from Volume_1, as it was a child folder in Volume_1, even if I made Volume_1 just read only, I could still read the files that were meant to be protected.
You could do the following:
Create a top level directory inside your volume, which is protected and another one which isn't.
Your folders would look like this on the unit as a example:
Volume_1
- protected
- unprotected
Then you would set your permissions on the protected folder, and then give read/write to anyone on the unprotected folder.
In this case you would end up with the following network shares on the device:
Volume_1
protected
unprotected
Then you could remove Volume_1 Network Access. So you ended up with two volumes protected and unprotected. I'm not aware of doing it any other way.
The problem I had was trying to access it from Vista, I would type the username & password, but I dont think it translates very well therefore auth failed.
