Chapter 4: Additional Feature Setup

Overview

With a bevy of additional features and services, the N199 is so much more than a
mere external hard disk. The sections below show you how you can utilize your
N199 to serve files, music, movies, pictures, and more.

FTP Server

N199 can act as a FTP server,
enabling users to download and
upload files with their favorite FTP
programs. From the Network menu,
choose the FTP item, and the FTP
screen appears. You can change any
of these items and press Apply to
confirm your settings. A description
of each item follows:

password set up on the Local User Configuration page (Accounts > Users).
Access control to each share folder is set up on the ACL page (Storage > Folder
> ACL).
When trying to access N199 anonymously, just enter "anonymous" as the user
name.
