Using USB Devices Safely
device is guaranteed only with the USB remote connec-
tion of the FRITZ!Box (see also: Sharing a USB Printer on
page 73).
• You can connect a USB stick from the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick series by AVM to conveniently establish secure
WLAN connections using AVM Stick & Surf (see:
Establishing a WLAN Connection with AVM Stick & Surf
on page 19).
12.3 Using USB Devices Safely
Follow the instructions below about how to use USB devices
on your FRITZ!Box.
• The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from ex-
ternal influences. This means that voltage spikes or
drops, like those that occur during electrical storms, may
lead to data losses on connected USB memory media.
We recommend making regular backups of the USB
memory contents to avoid any losses.
• Whenever you want to remove USB devices from the
FRITZ!Box, go to the “Home Network / USB Devices” area
in the FRITZ!Box user interface to remove them safely
and avoid any loss of data.
12.4 Accessing USB Memory
The participants in the home network have various possibili-
ties for accessing the various storage media of the FRITZ!Box.
• Participants in the home network can use FTP software
like FireFTP to exchange files among the FRITZ!Box stor-
age media and workplaces.
Alternatively, you can enter ftp://fritz.box
in the address
line of your Internet browser to access the memory of the
FRITZ!Box.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
Online Help of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
