Buffalo Technology LINKSTATION HD-HLAN - Manual (Page 34)


Network - FTP Server
Select Enable to use LinkStation’s FTP Server.
Allowing Anonymous access is not recommended
because of security concerns. Select Registered
Users for a password protected FTP Server.
Anonymous access may be used on a single shared
folder on the LinkStation. FTP Access specifies
whether the anonymous shared folder is read only
or writable; select the appropriate setting.
If Registered Users is selected as the FTP type, then
the shared folders that are to be added to the FTP
Server must be checked. Check the appropriate
checkboxes under Registered Users Public Shared
Folder Settings. Multiple shared folders can be
added when the Registered Users FTP is used.
The shared folder’s settings are carried over from
LinkStation to the FTP Server. A user account that
has been added to LinkStation can be used for FTP login credentials. Different user accounts have different
access restrictions; their rights will carry over as rights on the FTP Server.
If using the FTP server, set the LinkStation’s default gateway with your router’s IP address, open port 21 in
the router, and give the LinkStation a static IP address.
