Accessing shared folders using FTP
If you enabled the storage system to ac t as an FTP server (as described in
“Changing the network settings”), all Windows and Mac OS X users can use a Web
browser to access the public folder .
Note: Even if you changed the access rights to t he public folder (for example, to
prevent
a particular user from accessing it altogether or t o limit a user to read-only
access), all existing Windows and Mac OS X users have full read/write access t o
the
public folder when accessing it via FTP .
To access shared f olders using FT P:
1 . At a computer running Windows or Mac OS X, open a Web browser , enter the
following
in the address bar , and press Enter:
ftp://user_name@storage_system
where user_name is the user name as defined on the storage system and
storage_system
is the name or IP address of the storage system (for example ,
ft
p://user1@storage or ft p://user1@192.168.0.101).
Note: You can use t he storage system name only if your computer is in
the same subnet as the storage system, if you added the storage system’s
IP
address and name to your local hosts file, or if you manually registered the
name
with a DNS server in your network.
You can also use guest as the user name.
2 . If prompted, enter your user name and password for accessing shared folders,
and
then click OK .
If you used t he guest user name, the password is also guest .
3 . Double-click any of t he displayed folders or files to open them.
You have f ull read/write access to all the folders and files in the public folder
and
you can create new ones.
Even if you browse to other webs it es, you remain logged in until you close the
browser
window . (That is, you can return to the FTP site using the Back button
in your browser window.)
Note: Files copied to or from the storage system using FTP can be no
larger than 2 GB.
