Accessing USB Memory
The participants in the home network have various possibili-
ties for accessing the various memory media of the FRITZ!Box.
•
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 memory of the
FRITZ!Box.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
Online Help of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
•
For access to media data like music, images and videos
available on the memory 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 for streaming
from the media server.
Playback devices to be used in connection with the me-
dia server must support the UPnP/AV standard.
Enable the “media server” function in the FRITZ!Box user
interface under “Home Network / Storage (NAS) / Op-
tions Enabled”.

Sharing a USB Printer
You can connect a USB printer to the USB port of the
FRITZ!Box to make it available to all participants in your home
network. You can either release the printer for sharing as a
network printer or use the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection
software to connect it with a computer. Which option is pref-
erable depends on how you intend to use the printer.
