Control Panel
Control Panel integrates most DSM settings into an easy-to-navigate panel. There’s a plethora of options available, too many to cover in this overview.
Suffice to say, this panel lets a user belonging to the administrators group connect the Synology NAS device to the network, make it accessible over the Internet, set up file sharing, control application permissions, manage system and hardware settings, and much more besides.
DSM supports a range of common file sharing services such as SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, and more. For most Linux users, SMB is probably all that’s needed.
