"Allow all groups and users" - All groups and users registered on the LinkStation or TeraStation can use
WebAccess.
"Use inherited folder permissions" - Users and groups have the same access permissions with WebAccess that
they do locally. If access restrictions are not set for the shared folder, then this option will not be shown.
• When a user or group can access a folder through WebAccess depends on a combination of WebAccess
settings and the shared folder's settings.

FTP
By default, the TeraStation's shares are only accessible by users connected to the same network or router as the

Note: FTP is intended for users who already have FTP client software and have experience with it.
1 In Settings, move the FTP switch to the position to enable FTP.
2 Click to the right of "Folder Setup".
3 Choose a folder to enable remote FTP access on.
