* LG Network Storage supports FTPS with advanced security on the existing FTP for
better protection of the user’s data traveling through the internet. To use FTPS, an
FTP connection program that supports FTPS must be used. The explorer program
supported by the Windows operating system does not support FTPS. Generally most
commercial FTP connection programs support FTPS and more details may be found
in the relevant program manual. (A typical free FTP connection program such as File
Zila does not allow access to LG Network Storage through FTPS.)
AFP
The AFP oers a similar environment to Windows folder sharing.
* AFP is available within networks with the installed LG Network Storage, but not
for external access without network setting changes due to rewall and other
restrictions.
* If there are no special reasons Windows Sharing is recommended, as the Mac OS X
basically supports Windows Folder Sharing.
Remote Access
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Using DDNS and connecting the LG Network Storage externally by domain name is
possible. (Example: http://myname.lgnas.com or ftp://myname.lgnas.com).
To record and connect the server IP address to the in the case of using a xed IP is possible,
though the DDNS allows for a convenient connection in a dynamic IP environment, where
IP changes in time. Variation of IP address is monitored and mapped to a domain name
in real time. Therefore, there is no need to remember IP address as there will be a xed
address. (e.g. myname.lgnas.com)
