3.6. Accessing Shares via FTP

The FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one computer to an-
other through a local network or over the internet. This protocol
allows you to exchange files with your friends or relatives securely,
as only people with a user account will have access.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The FTP service is enabled by default for new
shares, but if you have disabled the service at the global or share
level, enable the service as described in sections 4.6. Dashboard:
General Settings and 4.9. Dashboard: Shares.
To connect to the d2 Network 2 via FTP locally on the LAN, enter in
your browser's or FTP client's address field:
ftp://[IP address]
Fig. 32
TECHNICAL NOTE: See section 2.6. Assigning a Static IP Address
for instructions on finding your d2 Network 2's IP address.
Example: ftp://192.168.10.149
OR
ftp://<username>:<password>@<ip or machine name>/
Example: ftp://ringo:4xtp23@LaCie-d2/
To login, enter the username and password you've set up in the
Dashboard (4.7. Dashboard: Users) or the Setup Wizard.
To remotely access the drive from a computer NOT on your net-
work, refer to 3.5. Accessing Shares through the Internet.
