Individual Access for Each FRITZ!Box User
FRITZ!Box 3272 45
Preconfigured FRITZ!Box User: ftpuser
The first time you open the overview of user accounts under
“System / FRITZ!Box Password / FRITZ!Box Users”, the user
“ftpsuser” is already listed.
This is because the FRITZ!NAS service, in which the storage
media connected with the FRITZ!Box are summarized, can al-
so be accessed over the SAMBA and FTP protocols. If you ac-
cess FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client, your
users must be authenticated by entering “ftpuser”.
The preconfigured user account ensures smooth access to
FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. Therefore it is important not
to delete or rename this user.
If you use only the login method with FRITZ!Box user name
and password to access your FRITZ!Box, you cna also set up a
user account with NAS access rights.
Quick Access to Your Own User Account
At the top of the FRITZ!Box user interface is a navigation bar
that allows users to switch between the views of the
FRITZ!Box they are authorized to use. Displayed on the left is
the name of the FRITZ!Box user account with which the user is
currently logged in to the user interface.
Click on the blue triangle to open a drop-down menu that of-
fers access to the basic functions of this user account:
Only if you always use your FRITZ!Box user account to access
the FRITZ!Box, be it from home or via the Internet, can you de-
lete the preconfigured “ftpuser” account. In every other case
deleting this user account will make it impossible to use the
NAS services of the FRITZ!Box, or allow only restricted use.
