6 Sharing Content on your Thomson Gateway

Introduction

The Thomson Gateway allows you to store your data on a centralised place in the network. This way you can

share your files with everyone that is connected to your network.

Requirements

Your USB storage device must be formatted as FAT32.

Connecting your USB storage device to the Thomson Gateway

Proceed as follows:

1 Plug your USB memory stick or external hard disk in (one of) the USB master port(s) of your Thomson

Gateway.

2 If you want to:

 Share your files with other devices on the network (for example: a computer) proceed with

“6.1 Using the Network File Server” on page 52.

 Share your media with UPnP AV media clients (for example: a media player or media centre),

proceed with “6.2 Using the UPnP AV Media Server” on page 55.

 Make your files available for FTP access, proceed with “6.3 Using the FTP Server” on page 56.

To format your device for FAT32, consult the help of your operating system. Make sure to make a

copy of your data before you doing this. Formatting your device will erase all data.

Do not remove your USB storage device without unmounting it first, otherwise data might be

lost! For more information, see “6.5 Safely Removing your USB Storage Device” on page 60.
