N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Premium Edition WNDR3800

Sharing 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 very 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:

There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has no password.

On the FTP site, the person receiving the files should use the guest user account and enter any 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.

Note: You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the Advanced USB Storage screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
