Create hidden share (folder) on NAS box...

I guess that depends.  Can you create you own sharenames on the NAS box?  Any shaer create with a $ at the end should be hidden.
Why not give more info as to what this NAS box is...Brand, model, version etc.

If you can currently access shares through the unc \\servername\share  you will also be able to access \\servername\share$  without any additional configuration.

This an el cheapo NAS box...

Iomega StorCenter NAS drive...
This is the device...

We got it when our domain NAS box was running out of space...and we wanted something cheap to store some non-important files on it...

It's strictly a workgroup device...we have established a static IP...works fine...
But we have some stuff we want to keep "prying eyes" out of...

Not looking to encrypt or anything...just the normal hidden folder/share...

Hope this helps...

adding the $ to share name will hide it.
As I allready posted..If you can currently access shares by \\servername\share
you will be able to access by \\servername\share$

So if you go to the device settings (admin) web interface and click on the sharing button and choose manage shares.  You can add new share and pick an existing folder or create one and then selct the folder and click share and give it a share name.  If you can give it a share name that ends in a $ (like hidden$) then you will be set.

I don;t think I'm explaining myself very well...
There is a share on the NAS box now..."NETHDD"

In order to access this NAS box at the command line...
net share f: \\nasbox\nethdd

And we have several folders at that location...

Now I want to create a hidden folder...OR...create a hidden share...either one is ok...

But I don;t think I know how to create the share, whether it's hidden or not...

What is the command line for this...???

Maybe this is what I should be asking...:>)

gjacknow1...
Yep...you're right...

I didn;t set this little NAS box up originally...but now that you mention it I do recall the guy who did set it up said there was a CD involved...I thought he did it all on the command line...
And while I suck at command line stuff...I figgured you guys would know...

I'll see if he knows where that CD is and we should be good...

Thanx...

I am pretty sure the CD is just for the install and docs.
The config now would be at a web interface on the nas.  Try putting its name in a web browser and see what comes up.  Hopefully someone has the admin password. :)

If I remember correctly...the guy that set it up didn't say anything about a web interface...I think he had a CD that did it...but we will try it... see what happens...
Thanx
