UNIX/Linux Users: Accessing Storage through FTP
UNIX and Linux users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which they have
privileges on the NSS storage using NFS or FTP.
NOTE:
Before your end users can access the shares on the NSS using FTP, the NSS network
filters must be set up to allow FTP access. The individual share must be also be set up
to allow FTP access. Refer to the online help from the NSS configuration interface for
detailed help.
To access the NSS storage using FTP:
1. Open your FTP client application.
2. Enter the NSS hostname/IP address.
3. Enter any other required settings. If using FPS, ensure that the client is set to use Explicit FTPS.
For more help using the FTP client, refer to the FTP client documentation.
4. Enter your username and password when prompted by the FTP client.
5. Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
