Chapter 4: Additional Feature Setup

Overview

With a bevy of additional features and services, the N199 is so much more than a mere external hard disk. The sections below show you how you can utilize your N199 to serve files, music, movies, pictures, and more.

FTP Server

N199 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:

FTP

Item	Description
FTP	Enable FTP Service on the N199.
FTP ENCODE	If your FTP client or operating system does not support Unicode
	(e.g. Windows® 95/98/ME or MAC OS9/8), select the same
	encoding as your OS here in order to properly view the files and
	directories on the server. Available options are BIG5, HZ,
	GB2312, GB18030, ISO, EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS and UTF-8.
Port	Specifies the port number of an incoming connection on a non-
	standard port.
Allow Anonymous FTP	Upload/Download: Allow anonymous FTP users to upload or
Access	download files to/from public folders.
	Download: Allow anonymous FTP users to download files from
	public folders.
	No access: Block anonymous FTP user access.
Network Interface	Select which network interface the FTP server will use. LAN or
	WLAN can be selected.

NOTE

Anonymous users are not able to delete files on the N199. To delete files, users must login and be granted write access on the Access Control List.

To access the share folder on the N199, use the appropriate user login and password set up on the Local User Configuration page (Accounts > Users). Access control to each share folder is set up on the ACL page (Storage > Folder

>ACL).

When trying to access N199 anonymously, just enter “anonymous” as the user name.
