
To access a share using FTP:
1. Ensure that the FTP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see
2. Launch an FTP client or a terminal program.
3. Log in to your ReadyNAS system, as follows:
• If you required user FTP access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol, log
in using user or administrator credentials for your ReadyNAS system. If you log in as
a user, your access is limited by the settings configured by the ReadyNAS system
administrator.
• If you allowed anonymous access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol,
log in as anonymous and use your email address for the password.

Access Shares Using Rsync

You can use Rsync to access any shares that are enabled for the Rsync file-sharing protocol.
Instead of browsing shares as you do with some other file-sharing protocols, with Rsync, you
copy files from your ReadyNAS system to another computer that supports the Rsync
file-sharing protocol. If you previously copied these files, Rsync only copies the differences
between the source files and the destination files, making the transfer much quicker than
using other file-sharing protocols. The first time you copy files using the Rsync file-sharing
protocol, you see no performance difference.
