Using Protocols to Share Files
What Are Protocols and How Do I Use Them to Share Files?
Your px4-400d Network Storage uses communication protocols to mount file systems and allow files to be
transferred between client computers and the px4-400d.
The px4-400d includes the following protocols for file sharing:
● Apple Filing Protocol / Time Machine
● Bluetooth
● FTP
● TFTP
● NFS
● rsync
● SNMP
● Web Access (HTTP/HTTPS)
● WebDAV
● Windows DFS
● Windows File Sharing
AFP File Sharing for Macs
The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) enables Apple file sharing, which is the preferred method for Mac users to
access Shares on the px4-400d. When AFP is enabled, you can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client
computer to your px4-400d Network Storage. See Backing up Macs with Time Machine.
AFP is on by default. If AFP has been disabled, click the switch on to re-enable it.

destination Share on the px4-400d.
Configuring Bluetooth settings

2. Once Bluetooth Transfer is enabled, check the box Require a PIN for access if you want to
require Bluetooth users to supply a unique PIN to allow file transfers to the destination Share on
the px4-400d. When using this option, you must define a unique PIN number for each device
attempting to upload data using Bluetooth.
