Using Protocols to Share Files

What Are Protocols and How Do I Use Them to Share Files?

Your ix4-300d Network Storage uses communication protocols to mount file systems and allow files to be transferred between client computers and the ix4-300d.

The ix4-300d includes the following protocols for file sharing:

Apple Filing Protocol / Time Machine

Bluetooth

FTP

TFTP

NFS

rsync

SNMP

Web Access (HTTP/HTTPS)

WebDAV

Windows DFS

Windows File Sharing

AFP File Sharing for Macs

The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) enables Apple file sharing, which is the preferred method for Mac users to access Shares. When AFP is enabled, you can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client computer to your ix4-300d Network Storage. See Backing up Macs with Time Machine for detailed instructions.

AFP is on by default. If AFP has been disabled, click the switch on to re-enable it.

Bluetooth File Sharing

Once a Bluetooth adapter is detected, files can be uploaded from a Bluetooth device to a configurable destination Share on the ix4-300d.

Configuring Bluetooth settings

1.To enable Bluetooth, click the switch on.

2.Once Bluetooth Transfer is enabled, check the Enable security checkbox to require Bluetooth users to supply a unique PIN that they have defined before allowing them to transfer files to the destination Share on the ix4-300d.

If you have enabled security, you must define a unique PIN number, which will be supplied by devices attempting to upload data using Bluetooth.

3.To set the destination Share, click Using Protocols to Share Files .

4.Click Apply to save your settings.
