Media Server

The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the NSA (without having to copy them to another computer). The NSA can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and/or an iTunes server. The NSA streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients or computers using iTunes. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network.

iTunes Server

The NSA iTunes server feature lets you use Apple’s iTunes software on a computer to play music and video files stored on the NSA. You can download iTunes from www.apple.com.

Download Service

The NSA’s download service downloads files from the Internet directly to the NSA. You do not have to download to your computer and then copy to the NSA. This can free up your computer’s system resources.

The NSA can download using these protocols.

•HTTP: The standard protocol for web pages.

•FTP: A standard Internet file transfer service.

•P2P download: Peer-to-peer files sharing protocol.

Web Publishing

Web publishing lets you “publish” shares (containing folders and files) on the NSA so people can access the files using a web browser without having to log into the Home screens. This way you can share files with others without them having to know and enter a username and password.
