Configure your access method

Each access method has a unique upload domain for accessing NetStorage.

Upload domains for each access method

Once you've determined an applicable domain name prefix, you'll use it with all domain names for a storage group. Each domain name allows you to access the group using the upload account access methods available.

📘

All SSH (Secure) access methods require an SSH key and use the sshacs username, not the name of your upload account.

This table gives example domain names, imagining you use baseball as your domain name prefix.
