Using a domain

First: be sure that your domain is correctly working.

How to use a domain, even a third-level domain like the ones offered by No-ip, with HFS ? A domain is just a name for your IP address, so what you need to do is to replace the numeric ip in your HFS address.

Example:

• your HFS is working on http://1.2.3.4
• your domain is gnappo.ddns.net
• then you can access your HFS on http://gnappo.ddns.net

If you are using a custom port, you need to enter it together with the domain, for example: gnappo.ddns.net:8011

That's it, you are done!

Please, notice that the numeric address still works, you can use both.

Optional step

You can tell HFS to use your domain when displaying an address.

1. Go to Admin-panel
2. click Shared files
3. click Home
4. Click on the icon

5. Enter your domain in the field "Custom IP or domain"
6. Close

You will notice that on the screen something has changed: the link field now shows
