3.6. Accessing Shares via FTP
The FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one computer to an- other through a local network or over the internet. This protocol allows you to exchange files with your friends or relatives securely, as only people with a user account will have access.
The FTP service is enabled by default for new shares, but if you have disabled the service at the global or user level, enable the service as described in sections 4.6. Dashboard: General Settings and 4.7. Dashboard: Users.
To connect to the Network Space 2 via FTP locally on the LAN, enter in your browser’s or FTP client’s address field:
