Access Storage Devices Through the Internet with FTP
If you attached a storage device to the modem router, before you can access the storage
device through the Internet with FTP, you must first set it up (see

To access a USB device with FTP from a remote computer to download or upload a
file:
1. Take one of the following actions:
• To download a file from a storage device connected to the modem router, launch a
web browser.
• To upload a file to a storage device connected to the modem router, launch an FTP
client such as Filezilla.
2. In the address field of the browser, type ftp:// and the Internet port IP address.
For example, if your IP address is 10.1.65.4, type ftp://10.1.65.4.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name.
For example, type ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com.
3. When prompted, log in:
• To log in as admin, in the user name field, enter admin and in the password field,
enter the same password that you use to log in to the modem router.
• To log in as guest, in the user name field, enter guest.
