Remote Access - FTP
The LinkStation includes FTP server capability,
allowing you to access files on it from anywhere. If
FTP is enabled for a folder, then you can read, edit,
and save to any files in that folder from anywhere.
To use FTP,
1: Set up your account. In Users/Groups, make
a user account for yourself. For convenience, give
this account the same username and password
that you use to log in to your computer. Then, you
won't have to retype it in each time you access the
LinkStation locally.
2: Enable remote access. In Shared Folders
Setup, click on the folder that you want to be able
to access remotely. It will be named "share" unless
you have added new folders to your LinkStation.
Enable FTP in Shared Folder Support. Enable
Access Restrictions. Give yourself Read or Read
and Write permissions. Click 'Apply'. Then, check
'FTP' in Shared Folder Support. Click 'Save'.
3: Forward your port. In your router's setup utility,
forward port 21 to the LAN-side IP address of the
LinkStation.
