6.0 FTP Server

Remember to "Enable" the FTP service on the status page, when you plan on using the FTP server.

- FTP server Configuration: The standard port for FTP service is 21. If required, you can change it into any port ranging from 1025-6550. But in general, we recommended using the default port of 21.

File language support: By default, the encoding is set to English. If you want to store or transfer files with a different encoding (different language), choose the corresponding language for the drop down list. In order to transfer and view the files correctly, it is important that you select the correct language!

Anonymous: By default an anonymous user name has been created, it allows FTP users to login without username and password. For security reasons, it is best to add a password!.

Note: to be able to share FTP resource via internet, you need a router to assign the external IP to your NAS Dongle. Contact your router vendor on how to assign the external IP.
