Accessing data via FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange files over
an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) computer network. The FTP protocol is built on a client-server
architecture.

Local access

Enable the FTP Server option. Use any FTP client software or open your browser and enter

ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS *
or
ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@ddnetworkcenter *

(IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your Dual Drive Network Center)

FTP access via the Internet

Enable the FTP Server option in the Dual Drive Network Center Configuration. Your router
must be configured as follows:

1. Port forwarding

Forward port 21 to the IP address of your Dual Drive Network Center.

* If you have changed the hostname or the IP address of the Dual Drive Network Center, please use the new

settings here.

Note: Not all browsers can upload data via FTP. Those that can include
Internet Explorer and Konqueror. We recommend using FTP client
software such as WS_FTP, SmartFTP or CuteFTP.
