Accessing the Network Drive XS
2. Dynamic DNS
Dynamic Domain Name System gives the ability to provide an official DNS name such as
www.yourname.com to the dynamic IP address you have gotten from your ISP.
To do so, you first need to register with a DynDNS service. It updates the modified IP
addresses and forwards this to the domain name. This enables you to be reached at one
single domain name at any time even if your IP address changes.
If your router supports this option, we recommend using this feature, otherwise you
always need to know the WAN IP of your router to access the Network Drive XS via FTP
from the internet.
Use any FTP client software or open your browser and enter
ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_INTERNET_IP
or
ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST.
USERNAME = your username
USERPASSWORD = your user password
YOUR_INTERNET_IP = your WAN IP address
YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST = your Dynamic DNS address
