If you are using FTPS, you must use explicit mode (also known as FTPES or AUTH TLS)
in your FTP client.
To access a share using FTP:
1. Ensure that the FTP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. Launch an FTP client or a terminal program.
3. Log in to your ReadyNAS system, as follows:
If you required user FTP access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol,
log in using user or administrator credentials for your ReadyNAS system. If you
log in as a user, your access is limited by the settings configured by the ReadyNAS
system administrator.
If you allowed anonymous access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol,
log in as anonymous and use your email address for the password.
Use Rsync
You can use Rsync to access any shares that are enabled for the Rsync file-sharing
protocol. Instead of browsing shares as you do with some other file-sharing protocols,
with Rsync, you copy files from your ReadyNAS system to another computer that supports
the Rsync file-sharing protocol. If you previously copied these files, Rsync copies only
the differences between the source files and the destination files, making the transfer
much quicker than using other file-sharing protocols. The first time you copy files using
the Rsync file-sharing protocol, you see no performance difference.
To access shares using Rsync:
1. Ensure that the Rsync file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS storage
system.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. On a network-attached device that supports the Rsync file-sharing protocol, launch
a terminal program or an Rsync client.
3. Enter any required credentials for the share.
For more information about Rsync share access credentials, see Configure Rsync
Credentials on page 71. For more information about Rsync terminal program commands,
visit http://Rsync.samba.org. For more information about using an Rsync client
application, see the documentation that accompanies the application.
