transferred between client computers and the EZ Media.
The EZ Media includes the following protocols for file sharing:
Apple Filing Protocol / Time Machine

Bluetooth

●
TFTP
●
Web Access (HTTP/HTTPS)
●
WebDAV
●
Windows File Sharing

AFP File Sharing for Macs

The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) enables Apple file sharing, which is the preferred method for Mac users to
access Shares on the EZ Media. When AFP is enabled, you can use Time Machine to back up a Mac
client computer to your EZ Media & Backup Center. See
AFP is on by default. If AFP has been disabled, click the switch on to re-enable it.

Bluetooth File Sharing

Once a Bluetooth adapter is detected, files can be uploaded from a Bluetooth device to a configurable
destination Share on the EZ Media.
Configuring Bluetooth settings

2. Once Bluetooth Transfer is enabled, check the box Require a PIN for access if you want to
require Bluetooth users to supply a unique PIN to allow file transfers to the destination Share on
the EZ Media. When using this option, you must define a unique PIN number for each device
attempting to upload data using Bluetooth.
