Accessing Shares Via Ftp - LaCie 2BIG NAS User Manual

ACCESSING SHARES VIA FTP

FTP (file transfer protocol) is used to transfer files from one computer to another via the local network or the
internet. This protocol allows you to exchange files with your colleagues, clients, or business partners securely,
as only people with a user account will have access. For a detailed explanation of the benefits of using FTP, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP.
The FTP service is disabled by default but you can enable it on the Dashboard > General Settings page (see
General Settings).
Once FTP is enabled, your LaCie NAS can be accessed using an internet browser or FTP client software. FTP
client software is very helpful if you wish to share, download, and upload data within a dedication application
rather than an internet browser. Examples of FTP client software include Filezilla and Cyberduck.
