• Username: The TeraStation's username
• Password: The TeraStation's password

Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous User
To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions. Configure your FTP client software with
the following settings for anonymous FTP access:
• Hostname: IP address of the TeraStation
• Username: Anonymous
• Password: Any character string
• Port: 21
Notes:
• If the TeraStation joins a domain, domain and anonymous users cannot access it.
• Shared folders connected by FTP are available from the "/mnt" directory. The examples of default locations are:
/mnt/array1/share
/mnt/disk1/share
/mnt/usbdisk1
• If a file was created or copied by AFP, you may not be able to delete it using an FTP connection. If this occurs, use
an SMB or AFP connection instead to delete the file.
• For FTP connections, make sure that the total filename including directory path is 250 single-byte characters or
less.

Cloud Storage

The TeraStation supports Amazon S3, a fee-based online storage service provided by Amazon, and other cloud
storage services that share the Amazon S3 API. Follow the procedure below to configure your TeraStation for use
with your cloud storage service.
Notes:
• Depending on the services you have purchased, prices for operations and amount of data will vary. To avoid
being charged unexpectedly expensive fees, we recommend staying aware of the price structure for data storage
and operations and regularly checking how much have been charged.
• Set the TeraStation's time settings to the correct time. Using NTP is recommended. To configure NTP settings on
the TeraStation, refer to the "Name, Date, Time, and Language" section in chapter 7.
