FTP Access to Shares

The FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one computer to
another through a network, such as over the internet. This pro-
tocol allows you to exchange files with your friends or relatives
securely, as only people to whom you have provided the user
name and password will have access. FTP access also provides
you a way to access your files remotely.
In order to make your 5big accessible via the internet, configure
your router to allow remote connections using FTP. This process
varies depending on the router.
For the 5big to be accessible through the internet, port 21 needs
to be forwarded to the 5big.
TeChNICAl NOTe: By default, FTP is enabled and therefore
Share is fully accessible via FTP. To turn FTP service off, refer
to section 4.5.6. Status.
