Creating FRITZ!Box Users
Preconfigured FRITZ!Box User: ftpuser
The first time you open the overview of user accounts under
“System / FRITZ!Box Users / Users”, the user “ftpuser” is al-
ready listed.
This is because the FRITZ!NAS service, in which the storage
media connected with the FRITZ!Box are summarized, can al-
so be accessed over the protocols SAMBA and FTP. If you ac-
cess FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client, your
users must be authenticated by entering “ftpuser”.
The preconfigured user account ensures smooth access to
FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. Therefore it is important not
to delete or rename this user.
If you use only the login method with FRITZ!Box user name
and password to access your FRITZ!Box, you can also set up a
user account with NAS access rights.
You can delete the preconfigured “ftpuser” account only if
you
always
use your FRITZ!Box user account to access the
FRITZ!Box, be it from home or via the Internet. In every other
case deleting this user account will make it impossible to use
the NAS services of the FRITZ!Box, or allow only restricted
use.
Accessing the FRITZ!Box from the Internet
To be able to access your FRITZ!Box from the Internet via
MyFRITZ!, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
•
You have set up an account with the MyFRITZ! service;
see
. Your FRITZ!Box is registered with this
MyFRITZ! account.
•
The option “Access from the Internet allowed” is en-
abled in your user account.
•
The option “Internet access to the FRITZ!Box via HTTPS
enabled” is checked in the “Internet / MyFRITZ!” menu,
or in the “Internet / Permit Access / FRITZ!Box Services”
menu.
When the MyFRITZ! service is enabled this check mark is
set automatically.
