4. Accessing data via FTP
Note: Not all browsers can upload data via FTP. Those that can include
Internet Explorer and Konqueror. We recommend using FTP client software
such as WS_FTP, SmartFTP or CuteFTP.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange files
over an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) computer network. The FTP protocol is built on a
client-server architecture.
4..1 Local access
Enable the FTP Server option. Use any FTP client software or open your browser and
enter
ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS *
or
ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@networkcenter *
(IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your Network Storage Center / Network Media
Center)
4.. FTP access via the Internet
Enable the FTP Server option in the Network Storage Center / Network Media Center
Configuration. Your router must be configured as follows:
1. Port forwarding
Forward port 21 to the IP address of your Network Storage Center / Network Media Center.
While configuring the FTP Server option, you will be informed to which IP address port
21 has to be forwarded.
* If you have changed the hostname or the IP address of the Network Storage Center / Network Media Center,
please use the new settings here.
