Managing User Access

v1.1, June 2009

Port: The TCP/IP port that the FTP service will be using.

Authentication mode: There are two authentication modes:

Anonymous: No login information required for FTP users.

User: Users will need an account configured on the ReadyNAS from either user or
domain security mode.

Allow upload resumes: This option allows users to finish uploading a file to the FTP
share if the connection had been previously interrupted. Without this option enabled, if the
connection is dropped at 50% completion, the file upload must restart from the beginning.

Passive ports: This port range is required to enable remote access to the ReadyNAS from
over the Internet. This port range should be adjusted to the maximum number of
concurrent sessions the user expects to run at one time. If you expect frequent concurrent
access from many users, double this number, as each FTP user will consume a passive
port.

Masquerade as: This field is for adjusting the hostname that the FTP server reports to an
FTP client.

2. Configure the FTP share access options.

Note: The default is 21, this port will need to be forwarded through the router.

Refer to the port forwarding instructions provided with your router.
