>>>Yes, assuming your folder MyApp has been shared with a share name "MyApp" and permissions have been set appropriately.

>>These are two very helpful Yeses (sp?). Thank you. I am wondering, whey did the customer say that he needs an 8 foot rack for this NAS. Did I misunderstood? He said, otherwise this NAS would have to be sitting on the floor.

>Some NASs for home or very small office use are small-form-factor boxes. For mid-size business and up they are often rack-mount. If he's out of space on his current rack(s) or doesn't have any at all, he'll need to put in another one, or have it lying around somewhere like a pizza box.

What kind of software does an NAS device need to support a small file sharing application like Dimitry's?
(I have a client with a similar need)
