TP-Link TD-W8980 Application Guide


Overview
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server feature allows you to share a USB storage device that’s connected to the modem router, to
users in the local or public network.
Typical Topology
Here in this guide, we take the configuration procedures of TD-W8968 for example.
Before setting up the FTP Server, make sure you have the following devices:
9 Computer with Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8/ Mac OS X/ Linux
9 Storage devices with USB 2.0/3.0 port
)
Note:
(1) USB Storage Device stands for FTP Server in this topology. Some USB storage devices may require using the external power.
(2) Local PC here means the PC that is in the same subnet with the FTP Server (TD-W8968). Local PC can access the FTP Server
by LAN (Local Area Network), which is called LAN Access.
(3) Remote PC here means the PC that is not in the same subnet with the FTP Sever. Remote PC needs to go through the Internet
if needed to access the FTP server, which is called WAN Access.
