8.5 Accessing from FTP Clients
You can set an FTP home directory in the NAS server for user access. Login authentication is done
by checking the ACL of the FTP home directory. During an FTP session, the server always checks
ACL when it receives any FTP requests, such as ls, put, get, etc. Local accounts and domain accounts
are both supported, depending on the security policy.
After setting the NAS server to operate in the workgroup mode or the domain mode, follow the steps
below to configure for FTP access.
1. Enable the FTP Data Access feature.
Open the administration page and enter the Network→FTP menu. Check the Enable FTP Data
Access check-box and specify the security policy. In the workgroup mode you can only select Local
account authentication as the security policy. In the domain mode, you can select either one. Then
specify the FTP home directory as volume01 and click Apply to save the settings.
2. Create local user accounts or retrieve domain accounts from the domain controller, depending on
whether the NAS server is in the workgroup mode or the domain mode.
3. Configure the folder security settings of volume01 to control user access.
Click the Set hyperlink to specify the access rights (ACL) for the FTP home directory – volume01.
These will be the accounts which are allowed to login the NAS using ftp software. Note that the
Inherited List will be cleared if you uncheck the Inherit from parent folder check-box and click
Apply button.
Now, run an FTP client to connect to 192.168.170.172. Login as the user you assign in step 3 above.
Then you will be able to access volume01.
8.6 Accessing from NFS Clients
The security control of the NAS server for NFS clients follows the traditional UNIX-style trust-host
mechanism and UID/GID checking. Follow the steps below to enable NFS support and export the
volume for NFS clients to mount.
1. Enable the UNIX/Linux Network support (the NFS protocol).
Open the administration page and enter the Network→UNIX/Linux menu. Check the Enable
UNIX/Linux Network check-box and click Apply.
2. Go to the Security→Account→UNIX/Linux Host page and add the hosts that might be trusted to
access the NAS server.
3. Export the volume to NFS clients.
Go to the Security→File/Folder menu. Find the volume01 entry and click Create in the Sharing
column (or Modify if the volume has been shared). On the Property page, check the UNIX/Linux
Network (NFS) check-box and click Apply.
4. Enter the UNIX/Linux Setting tab. Add NFS clients to the privileged host list. And assign UID, GID
and permission octets to the exported volume.
