[. . . ] User Manual LinkStation Mini LS-WSGL www. buffalotech. com Introduction Congratulations on your new LinkStation Mini.

As time passes, future user interfaces, updated software, and later versions of this manual may be freely available for download at our web site www. buffalotech. com. [. . . ] Remote Backup Password will set a password on this share for other LinkStations who want to use it as a remote backup target.

Highlight groups or users in the All Groups/ Users column and use the left-pointing arrow buttons (located just to the left of each box) to move individual groups or users from the All Groups/Users column to the Read Only box (if you want to give them read access only) or all the way to the Writable box, if you want to give them full access to the share. Right-pointing arrows will move highlighted users or groups back to the right. Click Apply when you have your groups and users in the appropriate boxes. 32 Advanced Settings Shared Folders (Service Setup) To allow FTP Access to your LinkStation, choose Enable for FTP Server.

Note: if a user name and password are used to log into a user's windows computer or domain, the same user name and password should be used when creating the user's account on the LinkStation, or problems accessing shared folders may occur.
