The TeraStation includes FTP server capability, allowing you to access files on it from anywhere.
If enabled for a folder, then you can read and save to any files in that folder from anywhere. To
use FTP,
1: Set up your account. In Users/Groups, make a user account for yourself. For convenience,
give this account the same username and password that you use to log in to your computer.
Then, you won’t have to retype it in each time you access the TeraStation locally.
2: In Network Settings/Network Services, enable the FTP service.
3: Enable remote access. In Shared Folders Setup, click on the folder that you want to be
able to access remotely. It will be named “share” unless you have added new folders to your
TeraStation. Enable FTP in Shared Folder Support. Enable Access Restrictions. Give yourself
Read or Read and Write permissions. Click ‘Apply’. Then, check ‘FTP’ in Shared Folder Support.
Click ‘Save’.
4: Forward your port. In your router’s setup utility, forward port 21 to the LAN-side IP address
of the TeraStation.
To access your TeraStation remotely, type
ftp://username:password@ipaddress/array1/share
into a web browser where
username
- is your username,
password
- is your password,
ipaddress
- is the WAN side IP address of your router, and
share
- is the name of the folder on your TeraStation that you’re accessing.
