3.6. Accessing Shares via FTP

The FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one computer to an-
other through a local network or over the internet. This protocol
allows you to exchange files with your friends or relatives securely,
as only people with a user account will have access.
The FTP service is enabled by default for new shares, but if you have
disabled the service at the global or user level, enable the service
as described in sections 4.6. Dashboard: General Settings
Dashboard: Users.
