Participants in the home network can use FTP software
like FireFTP to exchange files among the FRITZ!Box stor-
age media and workplaces.
Alternatively, you can enter
in the address
line of your Internet browser to access the storage me-
dia.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
help on the FRITZ!Box user interface.

For access to media data like music, images and videos
available on the memory or on storage media of the
FRITZ!Box, you can enable the FRITZ!Box media server.
Suitable playback devices like TV sets, web radios,
smartphones and the Windows Media Player can then
call up the data from the media server for streaming.
Playback devices to be used in connection with the me-
dia server must support the UPnP AV standard. The term
“DLNA” is often used to designate this support.
Enable the “Media Server enabled” function in the
FRITZ!Box user interface under “Home Network / Media
Server”.

Enabling Energy-saving Mode for USB Hard
Drives
In the FRITZ!Box you can enable an energy-saving function for
USB hard drives connected to the FRITZ!Box. When the ener-
gy-saving function is enabled, connected USB hard drives will
be switched off when they are idle—as long as the hard drives
support the energy-saving function.
Enable the energy-saving function in the “Home Network /
USB Devices” menu in the FRITZ!Box user interface. You can
also test here whether your USB hard disk supports the ener-
gy-saving function.
