Chapter 4: Additional Feature Setup

Overview

With a bevy of additional features and services, the N1200 is so much more than
a mere external hard disk. The sections below show you how you can utilize your
N1200 to serve files, music, movies, pictures, and more.

FTP Server

N1200 can act as a FTP server,
enabling users to download
and upload files with their
favorite FTP programs. From
the Network menu, choose
the FTP item, and the FTP
screen appears. You can
change any of these items
and press Apply to confirm
your settings. A description of
each item follows:

NOTE
To access the share folder on the N1200, use the appropriate user login and
password set up on the Users page (Accounts > Users). Access control to each
share folder is set up on the ACL page (Storage > Folder > ACL).
When trying to access N1200 anonymously, just enter "anonymous" as the user
name.

directories on the server. Available options are BIG5, HZ,
GB2312, GB18030, ISO, EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS and UTF-8.
