Access files via third-party FTP applications
REMOTE FTP ACCESS
You can access and share your LaCie NAS's files from a computer outside of your home network. To gain access
using FTP, you will need to know your router's public IP address.
1. From a computer on the same local network as the LaCie NAS, visit this page: http://www.whatismyip.com/.
2. Note your public IP address.
3. Launch an internet browser or FTP client software.
4. Within the internet browser or FTP client's address field, type:
Public folders only: ftp://[Public IP-address] (For example, ftp://94.10.72.149)
Public and private folders: ftp://[username:password@Public IP-address] (For example,
ftp://admin:adminpassword@94.10.72.149)
For further information on the public IP address for your router, see your router's user manual or your internet
service provider.
SFTP
SFTP is a secure version of the FTP service. Data is more secure when using SFTP but transfer rates are slower.
Similar to FTP, SFTP is disabled by default but you can enable it on the Dashboard > General Settings page
(see General Settings).
Please note that Activating NetBackup Server will disable SFTP (see
LaCie 2big NAS (OS 3.0) | LaCie 5big NAS Pro User Manual
Backup for details).
