Managing Server-to-Server Sharing Access
Configuring Server-to-Server Sharing
========================================
You can manage how server-to-server sharing functions for internal and external
users and groups from the Admin page. The settings on the Admin page provide a
level of security for whether or not local or remote ownCloud users or groups
can access server-to-server shares.
ownCloud 7 introduces a powerful new feature, server-to-server sharing. With just a few clicks you can easily and securely create public shares for sharing files and directories with other ownCloud 7 servers. You can automatically send an email notification when you create the share, add password protection, allow users to upload files, and set an expiration date.
To manage server-to-server sharing access:
Follow these steps to create a new public share:
1. Access the ownCloud Admin page.
2. In the Application View, scroll to the Remote Shares section of the page.
1. Go to admin > Admin in your ownCloud Web control panel, and scroll to the Remote Shares section.

2. To enable server-to-server sharing, and to allow remote users to mount your shares in their ownCloud 7 accounts, check ``Allow other instances to mount public links shared from this server.`` Leaving the checkbox blank disables server-to-server sharing.
3. Enable or disable the remote shares options as desired:
3. You can enable the users on your local ownCloud server to create their own public shares by checking ``Allow users to mount public link shares.`` Leaving this unchecked disables user-created public shares.
4. Now go to your Files page and hover your cursor over the file or directory you want to share to expose the administration options. Check the ``Share Link`` checkbox to create the share, and to expose all of your sharing options.
* ``Allow other instances to mount public links shared from this server`` --
This option enables (checked) or disables (unchecked) the ability for
remote ownCloud users to access public links that you share from the
server.

Your new public share is labeled with a chain link. If you do not protect it with a password, it is visible to anyone who has the URL. Users on other ownCloud 7 servers can mount it and use it just like any ownCloud share.
* ``Allow users to mount public link shares`` -- This option enables
(checked) or disables (unchecked) users on the local server to add shares
(folders or files) to the current ownCloud instance.
Un-check the ``Share Link`` checkbox to disable the share.
See "Using Server-to-Server Sharing" in the Users Manual to learn how to connect to a remote public share.
Notes
--------
Your Apache Web server must have ``mod_rewrite`` enabled, and you must have ``trusted_domains`` configured in ``config.php``. Consider also enabling SSL to encrypt all traffic between your servers. (See "Manual Installation" in the Administrators Manual to learn more about mod_rewrite, SSL, and alternative HTTP servers. See "Installation Wizard" in the Administrators Manual to learn more about configuring trusted domains.)
Your ownCloud server creates the share link from the URL that you used to log into the server, so make sure that you log into your server using a URL that is accessible to your users. For example, if you log in via its LAN IP address, such as http://192.168.10.50, then your share URL will be something like http://192.168.10.50/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=6b6fa9a714a32ef0af8a83dde358deec, which is not accessible outside of your LAN. This also applies to using the server name; for access outside of your LAN you need to use a fully-qualified domain name such as http://myserver.example.com, rather than http://myserver.
