The NSA can download using these protocols.
• HTTP: The standard protocol for web pages.
• FTP: A standard Internet file transfer service.
• BitTorrent: A popular distributed peer-to-peer files sharing protocol.
BitTorrent
The NSA includes a BitTorrent client for fast downloading and sharing of large files
(such as educational public domain videos). With BitTorrent, you share while
you’re downloading the file. BitTorrent breaks up the file and distributes it in
hundreds of chunks. You start sharing the file as soon as you have downloaded a
single chunk.
Web Publishing
Web publishing lets you “publish” shares (containing folders and files) on the NSA
so people can access the files using a web browser without having to log into the
My NSA screens. This way you can share files with others without them having to
know and enter a username and password.
For example, if you want to share photos in a FamilyPhotos share, you could “web
publish” it and others could use a web browser to access the photos at http://my-
NSA’s-IP-Address/MyWeb/FamilyPhotos.
Broadcatching
Broadcatching is the downloading of digital content from Internet feeds. Use
broadcatching to have the NSA download frequently updated digital content like
TV programs, radio shows, podcasts (audio files), and blogs.
RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format for delivering frequently updated
digital content. A channel uses a feed to deliver its contents (items). Subscribe the
NSA to a feed to be able to download the contents.
9.4 The FTP Screen
Use FTP or FTPES (FTP over Explicit TTL/SSL) to upload files to the NSA and
download files from the NSA. Click Applications > FTP to open the following
screen.
