About Bonjour
Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, has been widely used in Apple
related products. It will scan your vicinity for other Apple devices and then let you
directly connect to them without having to know their actual IP addresses.
After enabling this service, you will be able to see your NAS in the left hand panel of
the Finder under “Shared”. Simply click on your NAS to connect to it.

After enabling the FTP server setting, you will be able to access your NAS via any FTP
client program (i.e., FileZilla). FTP server access rights are the same as those for the
system (ADM). Should you wish to change or configure these access rights, you may do so
using the shared folders setting found in the Access Control system app (see section 2.4
Access Control).
