If you attached a USB storage device to the modem router, before you can access the
storage device through the Internet with FTP, you must first set it up. For more information,
see
Set Up FTP Access Through the Internet on page 86.
To access the USB storage device with FTP from a remote computer:
1. Take one of the following actions:
• To download a file from a USB storage device connected to the router, launch an web
browser.
• To upload a file to a USB storage device connected to the router, use an FTP client
such as filezilla.
2. Enter ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser.
For example, enter ftp://10.1.65.4.
If you are using Dynamic DNS, type the DNS name.
For example, enter ftp://MyName.mynetgear.com.
3. When prompted, log in:.
• To log in as admin, in the user name field, type admin and in the password field, type
the same password that you use to log in to the router.
• To log in as guest, in the user name field, enter guest.
The guest user name does not have a password. To restrict access to the USB drive,
you can specify that only the admin user can access it. See

keep the computer running.
