Accessing USB Memory
The participants in the home network have various possibili-
ties for accessing the various storage media of the FRITZ!Box.
•
Home network members can access the contents of con-
nected USB memory and all other memory of the
FRITZ!Box especially conveniently with FRITZ!NAS. For
this FRITZ!NAS offers a graphic interface. Read the sec-
tion
Managing Memory with FRITZ!NAS
for
more information.
•
Participants in the home network can use FTP software
like FireFTP to exchange files among the FRITZ!Box stor-
age media and workplaces.
Alternatively, you can enter
in the address
line of your Internet browser to access the storage me-
dia.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
Help on the FRITZ!Box user interface.
•
For access to media data like music, images and videos
available on the memory or on storage media of the
FRITZ!Box you can enable the FRITZ!Box media server.
Suitable playback devices like TV sets, web radios,
smartphones and the Windows Media Player can then
call up the data from the media server for streaming.
Playback devices to be used in connection with the me-
dia server must support the UPnP AV standard. The term
“DLNA” is often used to designate this support.
Enable the “Media Server enabled” function in the
FRITZ!Box user interface under “Home Network / Media
Server”.
