storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system (for example,
ftp://user1@storage or ftp://user1@192.168.0.101).
Note: You can use the storage system name only if your computer is in
the same subnet as the storage system, if you added the storage system's
IP address and name to your local hosts file, or if you manually registered the
name with a DNS server in your network.

3. Double-click any of the displayed folders or files to open them.
You have full read/write access to all the folders and files in the public folder
and you can create new ones.
