Accessing Your BlackArmor Files Over the Web

BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3) 51

Accessing Your BlackArmor Files Over the Web

If your BlackArmor administrator has enabled Global Access on the server, sign up for a free

Global Access account so you can access your BlackArmor server files over the Web.

Seagate Global Access is a service that you can use to view, download, and work with the

files stored on your BlackArmor server from anywhere in the world, share files stored on a

private share, or share your files with anyone outside of your network.

With Global Access, you can:

• Download important business files or presentations from a client’s office anywhere in the

world.

• Share files with clients without requiring them to use an FTP application.

• Upload important files from your laptop so that you know they’re safe while you continue

to travel.

• Grant other people access to files on your private share.

To access your BlackArmor server over the Web:

• Ensure that Global Access is enabled on the BlackArmor server. See your BlackArmor

administrator to find out more.

• Create a Global Access account. Anyone who wants to access the BlackArmor server

over the Web must have their own Global Access account. (Accounts are free.)

See page 25 for instructions on setting up a Global Access account. Refer to the Global

Access user documentation for help granting other people access to your private share.

Downloading Large Web Files to Your BlackArmor

Server

BlackArmor Manager includes a special tool for downloading large files directly to the server

from FTP and other sites on the Web. This tool is called the Downloader, and it allows your

BlackArmor administrator to manage when large Web downloads take place so that the

server isn’t overwhelmed.

Downloader jobs may not begin immediately. Web downloads take place automatically in the

order in which they appear in the Downloader queue (which can be adjusted by your

BlackArmor administrator), so if your job isn’t first in line, it won’t start right away.

Additionally, your BlackArmor administrator can also impose limits on when Web download

jobs can take place and how many can take place simultaneously (never more than three).

BlackArmor administrators can limit Web downloads to evenings, weekends, or other quiet

times in the week.

See your BlackArmor administrator to find out when you can download Web files using the

Downloader, or to have your existing download job moved up in the Downloader queue.
