Access Storage Devices Through the Internet with FTP
If you attached a storage device to the modem router, before you can access the storage
device through the Internet with FTP, you must first set it up (see
Set Up FTP Access
Through the Internet
on page
127).
To access a USB device with FTP from a remote computer to download or upload a
file:
1.
Take one of the following actions:
•
To download a file from a storage device connected to the modem router, launch a
web browser.
•
To upload a file to a storage device connected to the modem router, launch an FTP
client such as Filezilla.
2.
Type
ftp://
and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.
For example, type
ftp://10.1.65.4
.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name.
For example, type
ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com
.
3.
When prompted, log in:
•
To log in as admin, in the
user name
field, enter
admin
and in the
password
field,
enter the same password that you use to log in to the modem router.
•
To log in as guest, in the
user name
field, enter
guest
.
The guest user name does not need a password. To restrict access to the USB
device, you can specify that only the admin user can access it. See
Control Access to
a Storage Device
on page
108.
The files and folders that your account can access on the USB device display. For
example, you might see
share/partition1/directory1
.
4.
Navigate to a location on the USB device.
5.
Download or upload the file.
