To connect to this share FTP client software is required – e.g. Internet Explorer has FTP support. To
connect with IE when using the Anonymous mode, please enter the following in the address line:
ftp://<Server IP>/pub/
(e.g.
ftp://192.168.0.220/pub/
). When using an SFTP client, please type in the
following:
ftp://<Server IP>/share/
(e.g.
ftp://192.168.0.220/share/
).
Share
is a keyword. Many FTP
client programs need a username and a password to establish connection. In the Anonymous mode the
username is
anonymous
and there is no password (i.e. the password field should remain empty). All
anonymous shares are in the folder called
share
. Any user connecting from an IP which has not been
granted full access will see all the shares but will be unable to see any restricted directories.
It is good practice to use email address for anonymous login password. Only few FTP clients support
SFTP(SSL/TLS).
Note:An anonymous user will see only files and directories owned by them.
Selecting the
Users with password
mode will enable secure FTP sharing with username and
password authorization. There are few FTP clients which support SFTP(SSL/TLS).
Here is a list of the tested software:
CoreFTP (Windows),
FileZilla (Windows),
IgloFTP (Windows and Linux),
SSLFTP (Linux console client).
When SFTP is enabled, the user has the access to the share through the authorized user name and
password.
Note: If the NAS server uses Windows domain authorization then a short name of the domain
must precede a user name – connected with a plus sign, i.e. “Administrator”.
To connect to a share via SFTP in the selected encryption, type in SFTP client NAS support SSL and
TLS explicit encryption. All SFTP shares are in the “shares” folder. Users see only the allowed shares.
Note: If you are unable to see any directories when connected to the ftp server please make
sure that you have rights to access any share over ftp. If still you cannot see any directories please
change your ftp client to passive mode.
Note: Most FTP clients have bookmarks allowing you to set up an IP, port home folder, etc.
Suggested home folder for the Anonymous is “pub” and for SFTP is “shares”.
