FTPES (File Transfer Protocol over Explicit TLS/SSL)
File Transfer Protocol over Explicit TLS/SSL (FTPES) is a file transfer service that uses either TLS
(Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for secure transfers across the Internet.
It requests for a mutual method of encryption from the FTP server for its file transfer sessions. Your
FTP client must be set to use FTPES as in the following example.

Media Server
The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the NAS
(without having to copy them to another computer). The NAS can function as a DLNA-compliant
media server and/or an iTunes server. The NAS streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients or
computers using iTunes. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer
and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network.
iTunes Server
The NAS iTunes server feature lets you use Apple’s iTunes software on a computer to play music
and video files stored on the NAS. You can download iTunes from www.apple.com.
Download Service
The NAS’s download service downloads files from the Internet directly to the NAS. You do not have
to download to your computer and then copy to the NAS. This can free up your computer’s system
resources.
The NAS can download using these protocols.
• HTTP: The standard protocol for web pages.
• FTP: A standard Internet file transfer service.
• P2P download: Peer-to-peer files sharing protocol.
