7.5 Accessing from FTP Clients

You can set an FTP home directory in the NAS server for user access. Login authentication is

done by checking the ACL of the FTP home directory. During an FTP session, the server

always checks ACL when it receives any FTP requests, such as ls, put, get, etc. Local

accounts and domain accounts are both supported, depending on the security policy.

After setting the NAS server to operate in the workgroup mode or the domain mode, follow the

steps below to configure for FTP access.

1. Enable the FTP Data Access feature.

Open the administration page and enter the “Network → FTP” menu. Check the “Enable

FTP Data Access” check-box and specify the security policy. In the workgroup mode you

can only select “Local account authentication” as the security policy. In the domain mode,

you can select either one. Then specify the FTP home directory as “volume01” and click

“Apply” to save the settings.

2. Create local user accounts or retrieve domain accounts from the domain controller,

depending on whether the NAS server is in the workgroup mode or the domain mode.

3. Configure the folder security settings of “volume01” to control user access.
