Chapter 2 Configuration
Configure and manage your TeraStation using the Settings interface, accessible from a browser window. Open the
interface using the procedure below or type the TeraStation’s IP address into the URL field of your browser.
Note: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or later, and Safari 9 or later are supported. If you
have difficulty viewing Settings, check the following:
• If there are a large number of registered users, groups, or shared folders, use another browser instead of Internet
Explorer.
• If you have a proxy server enabled in the browser settings, configure the exception settings for Settings or disable
the proxy server.
• With Internet Explorer, set security to Local intranet. On Windows Server operating systems, higher-level security
is configured by default. Set the security to a lower level temporarily.

22
Chapter 3 File Sharing
4 Configure the desired settings, then click OK.
Notes:
• Names may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Multibyte characters are
supported. The first character should not be a symbol.
• When you click the Option 1 tab, you can enter the folder description. Descriptions may contain up to 75
alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Multibyte characters are supported. The first
character should not be a space.
• You may create up to 400 shared folders.
• If the names of shared folders accessed via AFP and FTP connections contain multibyte characters, configure the
client language in Management > Name/Time/Language to match the characters. If the setting does not match,
the shared folder name will not be displayed correctly.
• The following characters are handled differently by macOS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when
sharing data between macOS and Windows:
― ～ ∥ － ￠ ￡ ￢
• Windows does not support some characters that macOS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on
a Mac using any of the following symbols, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. You may have to
connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy files that contain these symbols in their filenames.

Chapter 3 File Sharing
? ] [ / \ = + > < ; : " , | *
• Do not use any of the following words for the name of a shared folder as these words are reserved for internal
use by the TeraStation: authtest, global, homes, info, lost+found, lp, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, printers, ram, spool,
usbdisk x (where “x” is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
• Don’t use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:

• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.
• Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.
• If shared folders are accessed from a Mac, information files for the Mac may be generated automatically. Do not
delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Mac.
• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShare; the zone cannot be specified.
• When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as
date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.
• During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a
power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:
◦ Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.
◦ An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the
TeraStation, delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.
• If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the LAN port during file copying, even if the cable is not in use, the
copy operation will abort. Do not disconnect or reconnect the Ethernet cable to the LAN port during file copying.
Recycle Bin
To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your TeraStation to use a recycle bin instead of
deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections. To empty the recycle bin, click File
Sharing > Folder Setup > Empty Recycle Bin in Settings. The recycle bins in all shared folders will be deleted.
Notes:
• You can prevent guests and other users from emptying the trash by navigating to File Sharing > SMB and select
“Administrator only” for the “Recycle Bin Permissions” option.
• If you use macOS, select “Keep when original file is deleted” for the “macOS Temp Files” option by navigating to
File Sharing > SMB. If this setting is changed, files in the recycle bin may be corrupted.
Read-Only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read and write access, but you may change the attribute to Read only at Attribute
on the Option 2 tab. Read-only shares and HFS Plus-formatted USB drives will have “(Read Only)” added to comments
in File Explorer.
Note: Configure read-only file attribute in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and
may cause unexpected behavior.
24
Chapter 3 File Sharing
Hidden Shares
If hidden shares are enabled, shared SMB folders will not be displayed in Network, and only certain users are allowed
to access them. To hide a shared SMB folder, follow the procedure below.
1 From Settings, navigate to File Sharing > Folder Setup and choose a shared folder or a USB drive to configure
hidden shares.
2 Click the Option 2 tab and select the “Hidden share (SMB only)” checkbox, then click OK.
Notes:
• If protocols other than “SMB (Windows/Mac)” or “Backup” under “LAN Protocol Support” on the Basic tab are
enabled, the hidden shares option will be grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Configure hidden share attribute in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and may
cause unexpected behavior.
To access a hidden folder, open File Explorer in your computer and enter “\\TeraStation name\shared folder name$\”
into the address bar. For example, if the TeraStation name is “TSXXX001” and the shared folder name is “share”, enter
“\\TSXXX001\share$\” to open it.
Configuring Users
Adding a User
Note: The TeraStation can register a maximum 300 of users, which include the default users “admin” and “guest”.

Chapter 3 File Sharing
4 Enter the desired settings, then click OK.
Notes:
• Usernames may contain up to 128 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), and the
symbols ! # & @ $ * ^ %. The first character should not be a symbol.
• The user ID should be a number from 1000 to 1999. Each user ID should be unique. If this field is left blank, a user
ID is assigned automatically.
• Do not duplicate user IDs, group IDs, usernames, or group names. Each should be distinct and unique.
• User descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces.
Multibyte characters are supported. The first character should not be a symbol or space.
• Passwords may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), spaces, commas (,),
periods (.), semicolons (;), tildes (~), and the symbols @ ! $ & * + : = ? ] [ ^ } { \. The first character should not be a
symbol unless it is an underscore.
• Use the same username and password for both Windows and the TeraStation or you may not be able to access
shared folders.

Importing User Information
You can import users in File Sharing > Users by clicking Import CSV File.
An example format for user data: Username (required), password (required), and user description (optional).
Example 1: Importing usernames, passwords, and comments
username1,password1,comment1
username2,password2,comment2
username3,password3,comment3
Example 2: Importing usernames and passwords
username1,password1,
username2,password2,
username3,password3,
Guidelines:
• Use commas (,) as separators. Do not put spaces before or after commas. If you don’t want user descriptions, use
a comma after the password at the end.
• If a line is in an incorrect format, the username entered on that line will not be registered.
• If an unavailable name is used by a user or if the username already exists, an error will occur and cancel the
import process. User whose usernames were entered during or after the error occurs will not be imported.
• Do not use commas (,) in the username, password, or user description.
Note: Imported users are added to the “hdusers” group automatically.
