Netname
Netname specifies the share name that is visible in the list of shares. This is used while accessing this share from the client. A share name has the following characteristics:
-
A share name MUST be no more than 80 characters in length.
-
The following characters are illegal in a share name: \ / : ;
i.e., we do not allow characters: back slash (\), slash (/), colon (:), semicolon (;).
-
Control characters in range 0x00 through 0x1F, inclusive, are illegal in a share name. All other unicode characters are legal.
-
Share names are case-insensitive. For e.g., a share configured with netname equal to ‘S1’ can be accessed both as ‘s1’ and ‘S1’.
Example:
[share]
netname = C$
[/share]
