Accessing from FTP Clients
8.5 Accessing from FTP Clients
You can set an FTP home directory in the NAS system for user
access. Login authentication is done by checking the ACL of
the FTP home directory. During an FTP session, the server always
checks ACL when it receives any FTP requests, such as
ls
,
put
,
get
, etc. Local accounts and domain accounts are both
supported, depending on the security policy.
After setting the NAS system to operate in the workgroup mode
or the domain mode, follow the steps below to configure for
FTP access.
1.
Enable the FTP Data Access feature.
Open the administration page and enter the
Network FTP menu. Check the Enable FTP Data Access
check-box and specify the security policy. In the
workgroup mode you can only select
Local account
authentication as the security policy. In the domain
mode, you can select either one. Then specify the FTP
home directory as
volume01 and click Apply to save the
settings.
2. Create local user accounts or retrieve domain accounts
from the domain controller, depending on whether the
NAS system is in the workgroup mode or the domain
mode.
3. Configure the folder security settings of volume01 to
control user access.
Click the
Set hyperlink to specify the access rights (ACL)
for the FTP home directory – volume01 . These will be the
accounts which are allowed to login the NAS using ftp
software. Note that the
Inherited List will be cleared if you
uncheck the Inherit from parent folder check-box and
click Apply button.
Now, run an FTP client to connect to
192.168.170.172
. Login
as the user you assign in step 3 above. Then you will be able to
access
volume01 .
