a port range larger than 1023. When using this function, make sure you have opened the
ports on your router or firewall.
 Respond with external IP address for passive FTP connection request: Enable
this function when a passive FTP connection is in use, the FTP server (NAS) is behind a
router, and a remote computer cannot connect to the FTP server over the WAN. When
this is enabled, the NAS replies with the specified IP address or automatically detects an
external IP address so that the remote computer is able to connect to the FTP server.
 Set root directory: After enabling this function and selecting a root directory, only that
directory will be visible to FTP users. Otherwise, all of the shared folders will be visible.
