Once it connected I saw the share “ FreeNASROOT” and when i selected that I was asked for creds to access the share, enter the root creds you use to log into the WebGUI as we have not created any users at this time. For me I had to type in \FreeNAS or \192.168.0.91 in my explorer bar. I am choosing to share the root of my “ Volume0” and I decided to name the share “ FreeNASROOT”Īfter this is done bring up Windows Explorer and verify that you can access the share. Now we will need to add a CIFS share onto FreeNAS, first expand “ Sharing” then expand “ Windows (CIFS) Shares” and click on “ Add Windows (CIFS) Share”

Next go back to the left side of the screen and click on “ Control Services” under the “ Services” section. You can choose what to put in all these fields, just make sure you check and IP to bind it to at the bottom. Navigate to your FreeNAS IP and login, then expand “ Services” on the side and click on “ CIFS” and it will bring up the following: NOTE: I have chosen to use CIFS, as I am going this from a Windows Machine.

First we are going to need to set up a share(I did cover this in my Install and Setup FreeNAS on Dell CS24-SC tutorial, so you can skip if you already followed that).
