File And Print; File Server - Verbatim NAS HARD DRIVE User Manual

File and Print

This group of settings allows for naming the Windows Workgroup, enabling certain server
protocols (such as FTP, NFS, and print server), as well as providing full control over the creation
and management of folders (shares) on the drive.

File Server

Enter the main screen of File Server Setting by selecting Advanced / File and Print / File Server.
This screen presents options for Windows Workgroup and Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS), for enabling File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Network File System (NFS) server.
Each subgroup of settings is described below. After completing the form you must press Save
to save your changes.
Windows Setting
With these settings you can enable or disable the NETBEUI transport protocol, which is required
for SMB/CIFS fi le sharing in Windows. For example, for shared folders to be visible in "My Network
Places", this protocol needs to be running. It is enabled by default.
When Windows Setting is enabled, you can modify the Windows Workgroup name and
description. If a WINS server is available, you may optionally fi ll in its IP address.
FTP Server Setting
You can enable or disable the FTP server support. If enabled, you can enter the port number you
will use for FTP (default is port 21).
Once FTP is enabled, you can remotely login to the NAS drive via FTP using your username and
password. You will then have FTP access to those folders for which you have access privileges.
If you login to FTP anonymously and Guest Access is enabled (see below) you will access the
guest-share folder.
In order to reach the FTP server through the WAN, a public IP address should be assigned to
the NAS, or alternatively you can confi gure a Network Address Translation (NAT) router to map a
public IP address to the NAS drive's private IP address on the LAN.
