3.5. Remote Access

You can access your Network Space 2 when you are away from

home. You can download or upload ﬁles from any computer con-

nected to the Internet, or manage your Network Space 2.

LaCie has created a screencast that demonstrates this process (see

Fig. 39 for screenshot). Either click here to follow the link, or alter-

natively, from the Dashboard > Network page, click the “i” next to

the Remote Access heading to access the screencast (see Fig. 40).

For further information on network settings, see 4.8. Dashboard:

Network.

Once connected, it is easy to access your ﬁles using the web brows-

er-based File Browser. You can upload, download, and stream most

types of multimedia ﬁles such as mp3 and ﬂv. For more information

on the File Browser, see 3.3. Accessing Shares Using File Browser
