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. Type ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.
For example, if your IP address is 10.1.65.4, type ftp://10.1.65.4.
