Buffalo Technology HS-DGL Series user manual Network FTP Server

Network - FTP Server

By default, LinkStation’s FTP Server is disabled. You may enable it here. Select Registered Users for FTP Access User for a password protected FTP Server.

FTP Access specifies whether the anonymous shared folder is read-only or writable. Check the shared folders that are to be available through FTP under Registered Users Public Shared Folder Settings. Multiple shared folders can be added when the Registered Users FTP is used. The shared folder’s settings are carried over from LinkStation to the FTP Server. A user account that has been added to LinkStation can be used for FTP login credentials. Different user accounts have different access restrictions; their rights will carry over as rights on the FTP Server.

Buffalo does not recommend using anonymous FTP shares due to potential security concerns. If Anonymous is selected as the FTP type, then one and

only one shared folder on LinkStation can be made available; select that folder as the Anonymous User Shared Folder. Anyone will be able to access it.
