•FTP — The File Transfer Protocol is an alternative way of accessing a file share from any operating system.
•HTTP — The Hyptertext Transfer Protocol is the protocol for accessing a file share from Web browsers.
When you create a share on the appliance, you can enable any or all of the listed protocols.
You can add and manage shares from the NAS Manager.
