N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v4
Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
modem router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files
over the Internet. FTP can be used to download shared files from the modem router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the modem router. By default, it is password. The guest user
account has no password.
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters
the password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)
Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen.
This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage (Advanced Settings)
screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
