Chapter 4 Sharing Screens

NSA-2400 User’s Guide

A share path is the full path to a folder on a volume that will be shared, for example, /mynsa/
topsecret/ugs/. This is independent from a “share name” which is the name shown for this 
share when accessing the share via CIFS or FTP. The path should start with a '/' (forward 
slash) followed by a parent folder, child folders leading to the folder that is to be shared. 

The share path can include all characters including unicode characters (that is, you can use 
Chinese folder names for example) except for the following characters: 

• \ [backslash] this will be converted to forward slash and interpreted as a path delimiter

• / [forward slash] this is always interpreted as a path delimiter, so a folder cannot include it 

in its folder name

• :  [colon]

• *  [asterisk]

• ? [question mark]

• “[double quote]

• < [less than]

• > [greater than]

• |  [pipe]

Please also note the following as regards share paths:

• If the share path is missing the root path slash (the first forward slash), the system will 

automatically add the initial slash. 

• If the share path is missing the end trailing slash, the system will automatically add the 

trailing slash. 

• If the share path has '\' (backslashes) instead of '/' (forward slashes) they will all be 

automatically converted to forward slashes. 

• Share paths are case insensitive. If a share path already exists on the volume, for example, 

/My/Little/Corner/Of/The/World/) but the entered share path is the same as the existing 
path except the character case does not match (for example, /MY/liTTle/CORNER/oF/
THe/wOrLd/), then the NSA automatically converts the path to match to the existing 
path's case. This is done because folder paths for CIFS on Windows systems are case 
insensitive. Case insensitivity does not include some special characters, so ë will not be 
converted to Ë, neither ê to Ê, and so on.

• The maximum share path length is 600 characters (the entire path string including slashes)

• The share path cannot be blank

• You cannot have an empty folder name, that is, two consecutive slashes (for example, '/

My//Corner/')

• Each individual folder in the path (that is, the content between the slashes) cannot exceed 

255 characters

Share comments are optional, so they can be blank. The maximum character length of a share 
comment is 255 characters. Share comments can contain any character except for the 
following: 

• “[double quote]
