Table 4. Supported file-sharing protocols
RecommendationDescriptionProtocol
If Windows users access your storage
system, enable this protocol.
Used mainly by Microsoft Windows computers
and macOS computers, this protocol is
enabled by default. It is sometimes referred
to as the CIFS (Common Internet File Service)
file-sharing protocol. SMB uses TCP/IP.
SMB (Server
Message Block)
This protocol is enabled by default.
However, Apple fully supports SMB for
macOS, and in a mixed Windows and Mac
environment, We recommend using SMB
only.
macOS computers can use AFP, but Apple
now recommends SMB. Your ReadyNAS
system supports AFP 3.3.
AFP (Apple File
Protocol)
If Linux or Unix users access your storage
system, enable this protocol.
Linux, Windows, and Unix computers use NFS.
macOS users can access NFS shares through
console shell access. Your ReadyNAS system
supports NFS v3 over UDP and TCP and NFS
v4 over TCP.
NFS (Network File
Service)
If users access your storage system using
FTP, enable this protocol.
Many public file upload and download sites
use FTP. The ReadyNAS supports anonymous
or user access for FTP clients. You can elect
to set up port forwarding to nonstandard ports
for passive FTP, allowing clients to initiate a
connection to the ReadyNAS.
FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) and FTPS
(FTP with SSL
encryption)
If users store iTunes media on your storage
system, enable this protocol.
Used by iTunes servers.iTunes
If users store media served by the
ReadyDLNA server, enable this protocol.
Used by built-in media servers to stream
different types of media from any DLNA
enabled devices.
ReadyDLNA
If users needs to send or copy files into
your storage system from a device that
supports Rsync, enable this protocol.
Fast file transfer protocol that uses a
delta-transfer algorithm to send only the
differences between the source file and the
existing file.
Rsync
If users attach UPnP devices to your
network, enable this protocol.
Note: UPnP is used with ReadyCLOUD. If
you use ReadyCLOUD, leave UPnP
enabled.
Protocol for automatically controlling router
ports to enable network devices to discover
other devices.
UPnP (Universal Plug
and Play)
If users access your storage system from a
device with a web browser, including a
smartphone or tablet computer, enable
this protocol.
Used on the World Wide Web.HTTP (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol)
and HTTPS (HTTP
with SSL encryption)
If you use SNMP to manage the network,
enable this protocol.
An Internet-standard protocol for device
management.
