Form a high-speed and secure file server

  
to share files between two people, you can set the shared directory according to the "Network Neighborhood Method"; if you share files to multiple people, you can follow the "FTP method" to create a simple FTP server. Have you mastered these skills, do we really have peace of mind?

To answer the above questions, let us first look at the following situations: If the assignment of permissions is wrong, the ordinary visitors of the file become the controller; if you are willing to provide it to others When uploading space, it is likely to be infected with an active worm; if there are many people in the office who want to share their files, can everyone create a shared directory or FTP server on their own computer? Having said that, you also understand that in the office environment that strives for work efficiency and computer security, the "Network Neighborhood Method" and "FTP Method" are far less than the "full-time" file server (one installed Windows 2000 Server operating system and Feel free to listen to the server we call). Let's create a file server that can specify a certain amount of space for colleagues to use to prevent viruses from being compromised.

Let's talk about Windows 2000 Disk quota allocation method from. After the installation and installation of Windows 2000 Server, as a file server administrator, you have to consider partitioning a partition dedicated to storing shared files. If your system partition is C, then it is recommended that partitions of shared files be allocated in partitions such as D or E. Continue this step after doing this.
1. Converting Partition Format to NTFS
Partitioning in NTFS format is a basic condition for implementing disk quotas. As we all know, if the partition where the shared directory is located uses the FAT32 format, and you assign the right to write data to colleagues, the available space of the partition will start to be in an indeterminate state, and it is difficult to control the use of the space. If the disk partition uses NTFS, a more efficient and secure partition format, then you can determine how much space a colleague can take up, and you can safely grasp the entire partition and even disk space usage. Is the partition still FAT32? Hurry and convert to NTFS!



How to convert FAT32 to NTFS partition format?
Method 1: Use the Windows 2000 partition conversion command Convert.exe. For example, to convert the D partition from FAT32 to NTFS, the operation steps are: click "Start → Run"; enter the command Convert D: /FS: NTFS in the run input box; enter the label of the D partition after entering the label prompt , such as D_DISK. The rest of the work is handed over to Windows 2000 automatically.
Method 2: Use Server Magic 4.0 and other professional partition management software (not mentioned here)
2. Enable disk quota
Right click on the D partition and select "Properties" in the pop-up shortcut menu. , in the D partition properties window, switch to the "Quotas" tab - this is where the disk quota feature is located. Then, click to select the "Enable Quota Management" and "Deny disk space to users exceeding the quota limit" two options, then determine the disk space limit according to the situation of the office and server, the limit in this example is 100MB.
Small Tip: This is the default size limit for new users. If not specified separately, each new user can only use 100MB of free space. 3. Specify quotas for specific users

If you want a user to use more space, you must specify it separately. The operation steps are as follows: Click the “Quota Item” button at the bottom of this window, click the “New Quota Item” button in the pop-up window, and then select this file server in the “Look in” field in the new window (in this case) The server name is SRV), then select a colleague's login name in the list of users displayed next, double click and add. The other users add the same method, and finally click the "OK" button to complete; finally specify the space for the colleague added this time, for example: 1GB. At this point, the disk quota setting is completed.

Interestingly, disk quota feature is valid when sharing and uploading files, regardless of your colleagues share files on the server to store the file or folder via FTP to upload files, the total size of all files Neither can exceed the amount of space specified by the disk quota.

primary articles we describe how to build a simple file server, here, we need to provide a more perfect space management program. If you see what you said above, go ahead and do it, you can do it! But over time, you will have a headache for managing these files: all users keep the files in one place. Who is the files? What files does this colleague store... Please don't expect Windows 2000 Server to automatically provide you with a solution to these problems directly. Now we will solve this problem for you by integrating the "Network Neighborhood Law" and "FTP Method".

1. In fact, file servers and methods shared folder on a normal computer similar to Network Neighborhood Law

. The difference is that since it is a file server, it allows users to store private files on the server and share files with everyone through a common directory.

steps: First, to establish a number of your colleagues in the name of the computer name of the directory on the D partition, these directories are assigned their rights - that is, permission to private directory. Then, create a public directory and set permissions for all users to access.

Tip: In principle, a directory can only let the computer name corresponding to the visit, while visitors from other users is all refused, so as to ensure the files in each directory is fixed for all users And management, and the files in the public directory are shared with each other, so that everyone's sharing operations are carried out on the file server, so as to prevent the XX virus from directly entering the user's computer through the network neighborhood.

2. For FTP method

Interested friends can use Serv-U and other professional FTP server software to achieve powerful functions: separate user FTP directory control, does not depend on Windows users FTP account for information...

If you want to achieve a high-speed and secure non-toxic network sharing environment in the office, setting up such a file server is definitely your best choice.

"practice is the sole criterion of truth." Build a file server for small and medium enterprise LAN, indeed we can improve the efficiency of file exchange. As long as you pay attention to the virus prevention of the file server, you can effectively control the spread of the virus in the LAN. Of course, the premise is to install powerful anti-virus software and firewall for the file server.
