Accessing the Network Drive XS

2. Dynamic DNS

Dynamic Domain Name System gives the ability to provide an official DNS name such as www.yourname.com to the dynamic IP address you have gotten from your ISP.

To do so, you first need to register with a DynDNS service. It updates the modified IP addresses and forwards this to the domain name. This enables you to be reached at one single domain name at any time even if your IP address changes.

If your router supports this option, we recommend using this feature, otherwise you always need to know the WAN IP of your router to access the Network Drive XS via FTP from the internet.

Use any FTP client software or open your browser and enter ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_INTERNET_IP

or

ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST. USERNAME = your username

USERPASSWORD = your user password YOUR_INTERNET_IP = your WAN IP address YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST = your Dynamic DNS address
