User Guide MeeBox NAS
When you log in to the FTP server, the initial folder is your private folder. (In the admin user’s
case, this is the admin folder.) From this folder, you can go ―up‖ to ide3, and then up
again to the FTP root.
Accessing files on your MeeBox remotely using Secure FTP
For better security when accessing your MeeBox remotely, you can use Secure FTP (SFTP).
Standard FTP is insecure because your username and password, as well as all data, are
transmitted in clear text form from the client to the server. SFTP, which is based on the
Secure Shell Protocol (SSH), closes this security hole by transmitting login info and all data
in encrypted form.
You can enable SFTP access to your MeeBox by enabling its SSH service. The service is
disabled by default.
Enabling the SSH service
28. In your web browser, go to http://meebox:8090/, log in, and click MeeBox Settings.
29. Click Advanced Settings.
30. In the menu, click Apps & Services, then click Service Control.
31. Next to SSH/SFTP, select the Enable check box.
32. Click Save.
