[. . . ] · To customize how the page looks and works, create an index. html or index. htm file and store it in the share. 7. 5. 2 Web Publishing Web publishing lets you "publish" shares (containing folders and files) on the NSA so people can access the files using a web browser without having to log into the My NSA screens. This way you can share files with others without them having to know and enter a user name and password. For example, if you want to share photos in a FamilyPhotos share, you could "web publish" it and others could use a web browser to access the photos at http://my-NSA's-IP-Address/ MyWeb/FamilyPhotos. The NSA does not use any security for the files in the published folders. It is not recommended to publish shares if you do not have the NSA behind a good hardware-based firewall. See page 118 for more on firewalls. Additionally, you can use HTML editing software (not included) to create an index. html or index. htm file to define and customize how your website works and looks. Accessing Web-published Shares from the Internet You need to use a public address to access the NSA's web-published shares from the Internet. If your NSA uses a private IP address, you may need to use the public IP address of your Internet gateway and configure NAT or port forwarding on your Internet gateway and possibly firewall rules in order to let people access the NSA's web-published shares from the Internet. Web Publishing Port Number If the web-published shares use a port number other than 80 (the normal port for web traffic), users must include it after the NSA's IP address in order to access the NSA's web-published shares. For example, say you specified port 8080, the NSA's IP address is 192. 168. 1. 23, and the name of the web-published share is FamilyPhotos. You would have to enter "http:// 192. 168. 1. 23:8080/MyWeb/FamilyPhotos/" in your browser's address bar to access the share's web page. To make the web configurator more secure, you can have the web-published shares use another port number. Then you can configure one set of firewall rules and NAT or port forwarding settings on your Internet gateway specifically for allowing access to the web-published shares and another separate set of rules for accessing the NSA's web configurator. 122 NSA-220 Plus User's Guide Chapter 7 Applications In the following example, the Internet gateway's firewall is configured to allow anyone to access the NSA's web-published screens using port 8080.
