You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the LinkStation.

Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the LinkStation. The restrictions are not displayed for users without permissions for the share.

To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to configure your router and firewall. Consult your router documentation for more information.

Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:

-disk1 share

-usbdisk1

The internal hard drive of the LinkStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as usbdisk1.

"usbdisk1" is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected, or if access is restricted.
