Chapter 4: Additional Feature Setup

Overview

With a bevy of additional features and services, the N199 is so much more than a mere external hard disk. The sections below show you how you can utilize your N199 to serve files, music, movies, pictures, and more.

FTP Server

N199 can act as a FTP server, enabling users to download and upload files with their favorite FTP programs. From the Network menu, choose the FTP item, and the FTP screen appears. You can change any of these items and press Apply to confirm your settings. A description of each item follows:
