Accessing Data via FTP

10 11
You can access data in a shared folder on My Book World Edition using an FTP client
software program. An FTP client software program must be installed on the
broadband-connected computer you are using to access the device and FTP service
must be enabled on the network storage system (see "To enable a network service:"
on page 88 and "To modify properties of the share:" on page 98 for details).
1. Open an FTP client software program.
2. Enter ftp://username@IP address as the host name
(e.g., ftp://admin@172.25.102.67) or just the device's IP address depending on
the FTP client software program you are using.
Note: Click System Status in either the basic or advanced mode to view the device's IP address.
For additional info, check with your internet service provider (ISP).
3. Enter the My Book World Edition user name and corresponding password.
4. Click Connect or OK.
You can now upload files to or download files from My Book World Edition across the
LAN. It is possible to upload files to or download files from My Book World Edition
across the internet (WAN), but this requires custom router configuration and is
recommended only for advanced users.
