Ftp Server - D-Link STORAGE DNS-313 User Manual

Configuration
Use the FTP Server menu to create rules that specify available folders and FTP access rules
for users and groups.
To create an access rule, choose the User option to create an access rule for a single user or
choose Group to create a rule applied to an entire user group. Select the User or Group as
appropriate from the pull-down menu, click the Browse button, choose the folder or volume for
which the rule applies, and select the access level with the Permission menu. By default all
users have read only privileges until they are specified differently in this menu. Click on the
Save Settings button to apply and save the access rule.
To create an access rule that is applied to all users, tick the All accounts checkbox and create
the new rule. The root checkbox specifies access to all volumes and folders on the drive.
The FTP server can also be configured to put limits on the bandwidth dedicated for FTP or the
number of users allowed access at one time. By default up to 10 separate simultaneous FTP
downloads are allowed and there is no limit on FTP bandwidth. The Client Language
pull-down menu is used to specify alternate input characters allowed for FTP connection
requests.
If desired, the port used for FTP can be changed, however doing so requires that all incoming
FTP connection requests specify a different, non-standard port.
If your Internet access is controlled through a router, or if your network uses a
Note:
firewall device of any kind, it will likely be necessary to configure the router or
firewall device to allow FTP requests from the Internet. Often it is possible to
configure the router to direct FTP traffic to specified devices, in this case, to the
DNS-313. Usually, at a minimum, it is necessary to enter the IP address of the
DNS-313 and the TCP port used for FTP (port 21). See the user documentation
of the firewall device or router for information on creating forwarding rules for
FTP traffic to devices on the LAN.
