Use FTP to Access Storage Devices Through the Internet
If you attached a storage device to the router, before you can access the storage device through the Internet
with FTP, you must first set up FTP access (see
Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet
on page 117).
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 router, launch a web browser.
•
To upload a file to a storage device connected to the 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, if your IP address is 10.1.65.4, type ftp://10.1.65.4.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name. For example, type ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com,
in which MyName is your DNS name.
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 router.
•
To log in as a guest, in the user name field, enter guest.
The guest user name does not need a password.
