Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)
•Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
