To enable file sharing on your Time Capsule (TC), you will need to use the AirPort Utility for Windows.


  • Run the AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Disks > File Sharing tab
  • Enable file sharing (checked)
  • Secure Shared Disks: With a disk password (recommended)
  • Disk/Verify Password: <enter the desired password twice>
  • Workgroup: WORKGROUP (recommended)
  • WINS Server: <leave blank or enter the WINS server IP address if you are using one on your local network>
  • Click "Update" to save the new configuration settings.
  • Allow time for the TC to restart.
