Netgear RNRX443E – ReadyNAS 1500, 12TB NETWORK STORAGE (4 x 3 TB) Software Guide

Accessing Shares from a Web Browser

To see the share listings and access a share using a Web browser, click either Browse on 
the RAIDar utility, or enter http://<ipaddr> or http://<hostname> in the Microsoft Explorer 
browser address bar. 

Hostname is the ReadyNAS hostname assigned in the Network screen. The default 
hostname starts with nas- followed by the last three hex bytes of the device MAC address.

To access a specific share, simply add the name of the share to the address. 

For example, http://<hostname>/backup

For a secure encrypted connection use HTTPS. You are prompted to log in. 

Log in with a valid user name and password. If the share access is read-only, only the file 
manager displays. If the share is also writable, options for creating, modifying, and deleting 
files are displayed in the file manager.

One useful application for a Web share is to set an internal company Web site. You can copy 
HTML files to the Web share using Windows, Mac, NFS, or HTTP. When you set HTTP 
access to read-only, HTML files (including index.htm and index.html) on the Web site can be 
viewed from any Web browser. 

Files created under the Web file manager can be deleted only under 

this file manager. The only exception is for the admin user. The 
admin user can change or delete any files created over the Web 
using any protocol. Files not created from the file manager can be 
modified within the file manager, but cannot be deleted here.
