Hydra LAN User Guide
4 Network Storage
To access the data on the Hydra LAN via the network connection, you may use either FTP
or SMB. Before you can access the shared folders, you will have to set up your users,
groups and shares. See chapter 3 for more details about user, group and share
management.
4.1 File Access on a PC
4.1.1 FTP
Use Windows Explorer and type “ftp://” followed by the IP address of your Hydra LAN. Add
the user name and password in front of the IP address with an @ sign in between.
As an example, your URL might look something like this:
ftp://demo:demo@192.168.11.26
After login, you can access the available folders and transfer your files. Remember that
files can not be opened directly via FTP, you will always have to transfer them to your
computer first.
Note: For FTP transfers, we recommend installing and using a dedicated FTP application,
which can either be a free utility or professional shareware program.
