Figure 6-11. Share configuration dialog
Adjust the settings for the selected directory.
• Activate the selected directory as a share. Select “Sharing this folder”.
• Choose an appropriate name for the share. You may also add a short description
for this folder (input field “Comment”).
• If necessary, adjust the permissions (button “permissions”).
• Click “OK” to set the options for this share.
UNIX and UNIX-like OS (Sun Solaris, and Linux)
If you like to access the share via SAMBA, SAMBA has to be set up properly. You
may either edit the SAMBA configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf, or use the
Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) or WebMin to set the correct parameters.
Creating an Image
Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and
is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, and Linux).
To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You can use the
following command:
dd
[
if=/dev/fd0
] [
of=/tmp/floppy.image
]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0, and saves the output in the
specified output file /tmp/floppy.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs
(input device etc.)
MS Windows
You can use the tool “Raw Write for Windows”. It is included on the CD ROM shipped
with DKVM-IP8.
