4.3 my-Ditto Keys

my-Ditto keys enable users to remotely access their network server’s files with an easy-touse USB key. With your my-Ditto key, you will be able to safely access any file from my-Ditto — no matter where you are.

There are 2 types of my-Ditto key holders:

 Standard my-Ditto key holders or users – up to 29 of them.*  Master my-Ditto key holder or user – one only, as this key contains Administrator

privileges.

* For adding new my-Ditto users refer to section 7.2, Adding Additional my-Ditto Users, on page 62.

Users with a standard my-Ditto key have the ability to:

 Access own private folder, shared folder and any public folder.  Change own username and password.

A master my-Ditto key contains these additional administrator privileges:

 VIEW all users and their status (without accessing their private and shared folders).  DELETE users and the contents of their private folders.  DEACTIVATE users; block a user’s key access to my-Ditto.  EDIT user's passwords.  EDIT usernames.  Set the system clock: date & time.  Format hard disk drives.  Change my-Ditto and workgroup names.  Disable/enable media server and iTunes services.

For more details on how to use the administrator functions refer to section 5.12 my-Ditto Application – Settings, on page 37.

There is an alternative way to access my-Ditto once it has been connected to the network. Any computer or device connected to your home or office network will now recognize myDitto as an additional network or workgroup computer.

At this stage, my-Ditto will contain a single folder named Public. If you are using both hard disk drives, each one will receive its own Public folder.

As users register, additional private (password-protected) folders will be added and can be identified by their username.

Shared folders created by users will also be displayed using their alias. Only authorized users will be able to access them.

How?

There are two ways to access my-Ditto folders directly within the local network:

1. Use the access button (or Mount on Mac OSX) located in the Network/Backup tab in

the settings configuration window. Refer to 5.12 my-Ditto Application – Settings page 37 for more details.

2. Find my-Ditto on the different operating systems:

Windows:

 XP : My Computer  My Network Places  View workgroup computers  Vista : Control Panel  Network Center  7 : Computer  Network

my-Ditto User Manual

Note: Mac OS X usually saves the last user’s login information and as a result, may not allow new users to login without disconnecting the previous session first. In order to login as a different user, select my-Ditto computer, and click on:

Connect as  Enter your username and password and click Connect.

Note: You can also access my-Ditto server from:

Start  Run  type: \\my-Ditto server name (default is my-Ditto); press return.

Note: Windows usually saves the last user’s login information, and as a result may not allow new users to login to their private folders (from the same computer) without disconnecting the previous session first. To disconnect the previous session, go to Tools  Disconnect Network Drive  select \\my-Ditto server name (default is my-Ditto); press return and click ok.

Now Windows will accept a new password.

Mac:

Go  Computer  SHARED

5.3 my-Ditto Application – Managing Files & Folders1

5.3.1 Overview

When using my-Ditto with one hard disk drive, it will contain three root folders: Public, Private (using the current user’s name) and sharing.

These folders cannot be deleted or renamed. In addition, new folders cannot be opened and files cannot be placed adjacent to them.

When using my-Ditto with two hard disk drives, two additional root folders will be created: Disk1 and Disk2 (when in RAID mode there will be three root folders similar to my-Ditto with one hard disk drive).

Public Folder: Visible and accessible to anyone using my-Ditto application or connecting to my-Ditto within the network. The public folder contains three sub-folders: myMusic, myPhotos and myVideos. The folders were created to help organize media files.

Private Folder: Each user has one private folder bearing their username. Unlike the public folder, a private folder can only be accessed by its owner. Although the Administrator can see all users and their status, he/she cannot access other users’ private folders.

There are no Public, Private and shared folders in case there is no active internal disk in the system

(system with only attached external disk).All content is Public.
