Configuring Server-to-Server Sharing
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
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. (Currently, this works only
|
|
with OC7 and not older versions.) 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.
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps to create a new public share:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the Admin page and scroll to the Remote Shares section.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/remote_shares.png
|
|
|
|
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. You can enable the users on your local ownCloud server to mount
|
|
public link shares by checking ``Allow users to mount public link shares.``
|
|
When this is not checked your users cannot mount public link shares, though
|
|
they can view and download them.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/create_public_share.png
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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``.
