Accessing the LinkStation with an FTP client
• To access the LinkStation via FTP, configure your FTP client software with the following settings:
Hostname: IP address of the LinkStation
Username: The LinkStation’s username
Password: The LinkStation’s password
Port: 21
• Shared folders connected by FTP are available from the “/mnt” directory. The default locations are:
For RAID 0 or RAID 1:
/mnt/array1/share
/mnt/usbdisk1
/mnt/usbdisk2
For JBOD:
/mnt/disk1/share
/mnt/disk2/share2

Accessing the LinkStation with an anonymous user:
• To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions.
• To access the LinkStation via anonymous FTP, configure your FTP client software with the following settings:
Hostname: IP address of the LinkStation
Username: Anonymous
Password: Any character string
Port: 21
Notes:
• If the LinkStation joins a domain, users will no longer be able to access it via FTP.
• On the Mac, do not use FTP to share files and folders with multi-byte characters in their names. Use an AFP or
SMB connection instead.
• If a file was created or copied using AFP, you may not be able to delete it using an FTP connection. If this occurs,
use an SMB or AFP connection instead to delete the file.
• For FTP connections, make sure that the total filename including directory path contains 250 single-byte charac-
ters or less.
