Now open your web browser and type in the address of the NSA’s FamilyPhotos web page. In this
example, the NSA’s IP address is 192.168.1.33, and the name of the web-published share is
FamilyPhotos. So you would enter “http://192.168.1.33/MyWeb/FamilyPhotos/” in your browser’s
address bar. Then press [ENTER] or click Go. A screen displays listing the share’s files.

Browsing to an NSA Share Example
• Click a file’s link to open the file.
• Right-click a file’s link and select Save Target As.. (in Internet Explorer) to save a copy of the
file.
• Click a label in the heading row to sort the files by that criteria.
• To customize how the page looks and works, create an index.html or index.htm file and store it in
the share.
10.12.7 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 Web Configurator. 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.
Note: 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
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.
