Now's the time to play around with FreeNAS, exploring different aspects of the OS through the web admin interface. Now a virtual drive will appear in Explorer, allowing for more convenient access. In Windows, you can map the FreeNAS location to a specific drive letter so it appears in Windows Explorer as an internal hard drive. Enter the same user account and password you created back in the wizard. A credentials window will pop up asking for login information. Simply connect through the respective GUI options or directly by using the same IP address that is used for the web interface. This is a basic setup using FreeNAS that will now allow for connections to be made via OS file viewer programs (Explorer on Windows and Finder on macOS, for example). The web interface will now run through the configuration and apply all changes you made. Only configure this window if you wish to set up email on the server.Alter permission boxes to reflect what we have.Create a new group and select Create Group.Enter a username and select Create User.Select desired Directory Service (can be left on Active).Choose RAID setup (can be left on 'automatic').

We'll run through the Wizard in our setup process to keep everything simple.Įnter a pool name (can be unique or simply 'storage'). It's possible to exit this wizard and do everything manually. After successfully connecting to the machine from another PC, the web interface will walk you through configuring various settings, including language, keyboard layout, and more.
