Using the FTP Share service

Sharing files via the FTP server

The ASUS Wireless Router enables you to share files from your
USB storage device via the FTP server with computers in LAN or
through the Internet.

IMPORTANT!

To use this feature, you need to insert a USB

storage device, such as a USB hard disk or USB flash drive,
to the USB3.0 port on the rear panel of your wireless router.
Ensure that the USB storage device is formatted and partitioned
properly. Refer to the ASUS website at

http://www.asus com for the HD file system support table.

NOTE: Ensure that you safely remove the USB disk. Incorrect
removal of the USB disk may cause data corruption.

To share files via the FTP server:
1. Ensure that you have set up your FTP server through AiDisk.
2. Enable the DDNS service for FTP server access. To do this, follow

these steps:

a. From the navigation menu, click Advanced > WAN > DDNS

tab.

b. In the Enable the DDNS Client? field, tick Yes.
c. Key in your User Name or E-mail Address and Password or

DDNS key.

d. Key in your Host name. The format should be

xxx.asuscomm.com, where xxx is your host name.

e. When done, click Apply.
3. From the navigation menu, click USB Extension > Servers

Center > FTP Share tab and select the account that you want

to assign access rights to.
