Help for the SMB to WWW gateway


This is a brief explanation of the icons used in SMB2WWW, the SMB to WWW gateway. Most are pretty much self-explanatory. Also, I'll discuss a few of the other things you can encounter.
SMB2WWW is organized in the same way SMB, or Windows Network, is organized. Every computer has shares, those shares have directories, every computer is part of a workgroup. Within a site, there can be several workgroups.
Other Networks Behind this icon is a page that refers to other SMB2WWW sites.
Network This brings you back to an overview of the entire SMB2WWW site.
Workgroup Goes to the Workgroup mentioned.
Shares Goes to the Computer mentioned. There is one special case: on the overview page, there is a Form Field next to this icon. You can type in the computer you wish to go to.
Share Opens the share mentioned.
DIR Opens the directory mentioned.
FILE Opens the file mentioned. What occurs depends on your browser and the kind of file you're opening. The gateway will try to provide the correct MIME-type, based on the extension of the filename.
TAR This Icon will show up on directory overviews. With this icon, you can download an entire directory tree at once, as a TAR file. Please use sparingly.
Help Brings you to this page.
The Entire Network
