Using a Fileshare Configuration File
You can specify your Fileshare parameters in a configuration file, as an alternative to specifying them on the command line. A Fileshare Server configuration file is an ASCII text file that contains one option per line.
Fileshare Options
The options available to configure the Fileshare server can be entered on the command line or contained within a configuration file.
Using a Fileshare Password File
Specifying a password file when you start a Fileshare server enables you to restrict unauthorized access to files.
Monitoring Fileshare Activity
You can monitor the activity on a Fileshare server by pressing F2 from the same session in which you started the server. This turns on Fileshare's trace facility.
FSView
FSView is a command-line utility for administering Fileshare servers. Some commands that control a Fileshare server cannot be entered at the Fileshare console window; these commands must be entered through FSView instead.
Installing Fileshare as a Service
You can install Fileshare as a Windows service, which allows you to start and stop the server from the Windows Control Panel.
