particular user from accessing it altogether or to limit a user to read-only access), all
existing users have full read/write access to the public folder when accessing it via FTP.
To access shared folders using FTP:
1. At any Windows or Mac OS X computer, open a Web browser, enter the following in
the address bar, and press Enter:
ftp://user_name@storage_system
where user_name is the user name as defined on the storage system and
storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system (for example, ftp://
user1@storage or ftp://user1@192.168.0.101).
Note: You can use the storage system name only if your computer is in the same
subnet as the storage system, if you added the storage system's IP address and
name to your local hosts file, or if you manually registered the name with a
DNS server in your network.
You can use guest as the user name, but you will be able to access only the public
folder.
2. If prompted, enter your user name and password for accessing shared folders, and
then click OK.
If you used the guest user name, the password is also guest.
3. Double-click any of the displayed folders or files to open them.
You have full read/write access to all the folders and files in both the public folder
and your personal folder, and you can create new ones.
Even if you browse to other websites, you remain logged in until you close the
browser window. (That is, you can return to the FTP site using the Back button in
your browser window.)
Note: Files copied to or from the storage system using FTP can be no larger than 2
GB.
If you need to reconfigure the disks in your storage system or shut it down for any reason,
all users should disconnect from the shared folders to ensure that the process proceeds
smoothly. You might also want to have users disconnect from the shared folders if you
want to change their access rights, since otherwise the change will not take effect until the
user shuts down the computer.
The procedure for disconnecting from a shared folder varies, depending on the operating
system used by the user. (Users who connected to shared folders using FTP can disconnect
simply by closing the browser window.)
