Your Personal FTP Server
With your customized free URL, you can use FTP to access your network when you aren’t home
through Dynamic DNS. To set up your FTP server, you must register for a NETGEAR Dynamic DNS
(DDNS) service account and specify the account settings. See Set Up a New Dynamic DNS Account
on page 132.
Note: The router supports only basic DDNS, and the login and password might not be secure. You
can use DDNS with a VPN tunnel for a secure connection.
