Using your LinkStation
LinkStation User Manual

To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share.
Configure your FTP client as follows:
• Host Name
IP address of the LinkStation
• Username
anonymous
• Password
any set of characters
• Port
21
Example ftp://192.168.11.150/
• To make your FTP share available from outside your network, you will need to configure
your router and firewall. Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to
allow FTP traffic.
• If the LinkStation joins a domain, anonymous users cannot access it.
• Folders created or copied via an AFP connection may not be deleted from the AFP
connection. This is because an automatically generated ".AppleDouble" folder begins
with a dot. To delete these files, use an SMB connection.
• Do not exceed 250 characters for a file/folder name including directory path when you are
creating it by using an FTP connection. Otherwise, you cannot view or delete it in Explorer
or other applications.
