FTP Service: Toggle this feature on/off to allow your Network Space

 

2 to be accessible via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

Multimedia Service: This feature allows your Network Space 2 to act

 

as a UPnP multimedia server. Files (stored on OpenShare only) will

 

be available to play on UPnP-enabled players (such as cell phones,

 

computers, and game consoles). For information on using your

 

Network Space 2 to stream files to your UPnP devices, see 3.7. Mul-

 

timedia Server. For information on using the Network Space 2 as

 

an iTunes music server, see section 5.6.2. iTunes. Note that if you’ve

 

just added new content to the Network Space 2, it could take a few

 

minutes before they are available to UPnP/DLNA-certified players/

 

adapters.

 

NTP Server: Click the box, then click the field to the right and type

 

the address of a Network Time Protocol server to provide the time

 

for the Network Space 2 automatically. While NTP is selected, you

 

can’t modify the time and date settings.
