FTP Server

The NAS 4.0 FTP server works by offering a private “home” folder to each user with exclusive access to the resources through FTP. FTP cannot be used to access shares defined under the Sharing tab in the web interface. Each user will also have access to their private FTP space using SMB.

Getting Started with MLDonkey

MLDonkey is a powerful, multi-protocol Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client included with the NAS 4.0 unit. The features and capabilities of this tool are beyond the scope of this user guide, the steps below will show how to get MLDonkey up and running. For more information on how to use MLDonkey, visit http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net.

MLDonkey Basic Setup

The MLDonkey client requires one partition formatted with either ext3 or XFS. The NAS 4.0 unit's format utility can format one physical unit with a single partition using all space if needed.

Under the P2P/MLDonkey tab, choose the drive you wish to create the file structure on and click Save. Please note: this menu will permit setting up folders on incompatible file systems. If this is done, MLDonkey will not start or may not be able to download files.

When the folder structure is set up, a page will appear stating this is done. Click the START button. NOTE: The MLDonkey setup page will create a share on the selected drive called MLDonkey. This share will be configured with “None” permissions to “Everyone” as well as all existing users.

Next, a new page will appear stating MLDonkey is running. Click the link at the bottom of the page that reads “Launch MLDonkey Control Panel.”

A new tab will appear in the browser with the MLDonkey web interface. If MLDonkey is not fully initialized yet, the browser may report a failure to connect. If this happens, wait about one minute and try again, either by refreshing the page or clicking a “try again” button – this step varies depending on the browser used.

When first setting up, a prompt appears warning there is no password for the admin account. Click the space between the “DL” and “Input” buttons, then type the command “useradd admin” as shown, then add a password after a space.
