systems. 
About NFS 
After enabling NFS service, you can configure access rights using the Shared Folders 
setting found in the Access Control system app (see section 3.4 Access Control). This 
option will be hidden if NFS service has not been enabled.

After enabling the FTP server setting, you will be able to access your NAS via any FTP 
client program (i.e., FileZilla). FTP server access rights are the same as those for the 
system (ADM). Should you wish to change or configure these access rights, you may do so 
using the shared folders setting found in the Access Control system app (see section 3.4 
Access Control). 
  Unicode support: Please enable this option if your FTP client program supports 
Unicode. 
  Enable anonymous: Enabling this option will allow FTP client programs to access your 
NAS anonymously, without the need for a username or password. For security 
reasons, this is not recommended.  
  Enable SSL/TLS: Enable encryption for FTP connections. 
  Maximum number of all FTP connections: The maximum number of simultaneous FTP 
connections allowed. 
  Maximum number of connections per IP: The maximum number of connections 
allowed per IP or system. 
  Max upload rate: The maximum upload speed per connection. 0 represents no 
limitation. 
  Max download rate: The maximum download speed per connection. 0 represents no 
limitation. 
  Passive FTP: To minimize the security concerns of connecting from a server to a 
client, a type of connection mode called Passive Mode (PASV) was developed. When 
a client program starts to connect, it will notify the server to activate Passive Mode.
