Note: The option to access the Galaxy NAS LX5 via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) offers
additional flexibility, as users can access storage either from the Intranet or Internet. An FTP client is
ideal (e.g., SmartFTP), but the Internet Explorer or a similar browser are also suitable.
To establish a connection, the FTP client needs several pieces of data:
IPaddress: 192.168.0.220 (this is the standard address)
Port: 21
User: anonymous
Password: 123
Access rights allocation is done via the IP address of the PC currently in the process of
accessing. Read access is therefore granted on the basis of these usually typical and
anonymous login data. As a standard, the FTP server uses port 21, but that can be changed
via the FTP port setting. If you use the Internet Explorer when accessing, you need to enter the
following data into the address line:
ftp://192.168.0.220
. You will not be prompted to enter the
username and password, as the Internet Explorer first establishes an anonymous connection. If
you have changed the FTP port, add this information to the address line the following way:
ftp://192.168.0.220:4711
(in this example, 4711 represents the new port number).
How to enter IP address
In order to allow specific computers access enter the privileged IP addresses separated by semicolons.
For example: 192.168.0.1; 192.168.0.2; 192.168.0.222; etc.
In order to assign writing privileges to the entire address area between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254
enter:
192.168.0.0/24
In order to assign writing privileges to the entire address area between 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.255.254 enter:
192.168.0.0/16
There are many more combinations possible. You can find additional information about IP calculation
on the Internet.
Just search for
ipcalc.
For example,
192.168.0.1/28
will set the range from 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.14;
192.168.0.100/29
will set the range from 192.168.0.97 to 192.168.0.102 etc.
You can easily calculate the network IP range using an IP address calculator like the one available
here: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/
Function: AppleTalk (AFP) Settings fig 3.2.2b
Here you may activate the AppleTalk protocol in the network to access shares on the NAS Server.
