User Manual page 29
3.5. Accessing Shares via FTP
The FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one computer to an-
other through a local network or over the internet. This protocol
allows you to exchange files with your friends or relatives securely,
as only people with a user account will have access.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The FTP service is disabled by default, so to
access your shares (OpenShare, MyShare, and USBShare if you are
the admin, OpenShare, USBShare, and user share if you are a user)
via FTP, enable the service as described in section 4.8. Dashboard:
General Settings.
To connect to the Network Space 2 remotely via FTP, enter in your
browser’s or FTP client’s address field:
