KB2630434 - Issue 4 Remote access permissions. RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have just rebuilt WHS 2011. I see rollup 4 but not rollup 2. Can I assume that 2 is integral in 4? If yes issue 4 should be resolved but I cannot see how you set the permissions. I want to give remote access to a person of videos only not photos or music. I thought this had been resolved or is it still a DLNA issue.

    Sorry if in wrong place but old and new to this.

  • You can enable the "Media Library" on the remote web access page on a per user selection. It is however all or nothing (and Pictures and Music and Videos or none of them)

    A work around is to disable media access for the user and enable access to the shared video folder only. Then he/she can access the video folder in the Shared Folders on the remote web access page. He/she must then download the video files in order to view them.

  • If you mean remote access from the internet, you set permissions per folder in the Dashboard, Users, Account Properties, Shared Folders. If you mean streaming on your local network, that's a DLNA issue!

  • Hi  Phil,

    Thank you for your response. I was referring to remote access over the internet. The issue I have is that I want to access all media folders and others just one. Issue 4 in KB2630434 implies this is possible. Have I read that wrong?
