Alternatively, follow these steps:
1. Enter the following on the address bar of your Web browser:
ftp://<user_name>@<filer>/<ftp_directory>/<folder_name>
where
<user_name> is the username of the user. This user must belong to a permission group that
has Storage Access enabled. See
“Users and Groups” on page 416.
<filer> is the IP address or hostname of the Nasuni Edge Appliance.
<ftp_directory> is the name of the FTP directory.
<folder_name> is the name of the folder that FTP access is defined for.
Note: If you are not logging in anonymously, you still must specify a username in the URL, such
as ftp://username@ftp.server.hostname. This is true even if Anonymous access is
not enabled.
2. When prompted, enter a valid username and password for that Nasuni Edge Appliance.
Note: This user must belong to a permission group that has Storage Access enabled. See
“Users and Groups” on page 416.
3. A display of the FTP/SFTP directory appears. You can then navigate this directory to access
folders and files.
Caution: The length of a path, including the file name, must be less than 4,000 bytes. Since
the Unicode representation of a character can occupy several bytes, the maximum
number of characters that a file path might contain can vary.
