your NAS’s fixed IP address. Refer to the DDNS and port forwarding/virtual

server chapter of your router manual for details.

Enable the FTP server on the NAS.

You can change the default FTP port in the same configuration screen. This

is useful for making you FTP server less visible to users whom you do not

want to grant access. Some networks also block the standard port 21 and

may require you to change to a different port. Note: If you change the default

port 21, you will need to enter the port number every time you access the

FTP server.

Make sure to have users and passwords assigned to all your shared folders.

If you want to allow anyone access, just assign the 'guest' account to that

folder. FTP users can then log on with and anonymous account to that folder.

Note: Users will be able see the names of all the other shared folders, but will

not be able to access them without a username and password. To completely

disable anonymous access (must have user account on NAS to see folders),

make sure you do not have the ‘guest’ account assigned to any shared folder.

Now from the remote location, type into a browser (or FTP application)

ftp://<DDNS Name> and it will take you to your NAS unit. If you cannot see

anything on your browser, make sure you have the 'View FTP Folders' option

turned on in your browser settings. You may also have to go into 'File->Login

As'. Use a valid user name and password for the NAS.
