FTP
By default, the LinkStation’s shares are only accessible by users connected to the same network or router as the
LinkStation. The optional FTP server allows users outside the local network to access the LinkStation.
Note: FTP is intended for users who already have FTP client software and have experience with it.

3 Choose a folder to enable remote FTP access on.
4 Click Edit.
5 Select read-only or read & write for the shared folder’s attribute, check “FTP” under “LAN Protocol Support”, and
click OK.
