Hi All,

I would like to improve the security of my Z when on a wireless network.
I find that the Z appears on the desktop of Mac computers on the
same network just as any ordinary disk. Is there a way to password protect
the files? I.e. to make a secure login from other computers.

thanks

cool.gif I think you'll find it is to do with samba. Do a forum search and you'll find the info. From a good many years back...
