To access the TeraStation with an FTP client
Configure your FTP client software with the following settings:
• Host Name
IP address of the TeraStation.
• Username
Username registered on the TeraStation
• Password
Password registered to the TeraStation
• Port
21
Example ftp://192.168.11.150/
• You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the TeraStation.
• Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the TeraStation. The restrictions aren’t displayed for users
without permissions for the share.
• To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to configure your router and firewall. Consult
your router documentation for more information.
• Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:
- disk1 share
- usbdisk1
• The internal hard drive of the TeraStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as
usbdisk1.
• ”usbdisk1” is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected or access is restricted.
Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous user:
To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share. Configure your FTP client as
follows:
• Host Name
IP address of the TeraStation
• Username
anonymous
• Password
any set of characters
• Port
21
Example ftp://192.168.11.150/
• To make your FTP share available from outside your network, you will need to configure your router and firewall.
Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to allow FTP traffic.
• If the TeraStation joins a domain, anonymous users cannot access it.
• Folders created or copied via an AFP connection may not be deleted from the AFP connection. This is because an
automatically generated “.AppleDouble” folder begins with a dot. To delete these files, use an SMB connection.
• Do not exceed 250 bytes for a file/folder name including directory path when you are creating it by using an FTP
connection. Otherwise, you cannot view or delete it in Explorer or other applications.
