3.3.5 FTP Services
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a commonly used,
open standard protocol for exchanging files over any
network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as
the Internet or an intranet). Virtually every computer
platform supports the FTP protocol. This allows any
computer connected to a TCP/IP based network to
manipulate files on another computer on that network
regardless of which operating systems are involved (if the computers permit FTP access.)
There are many existing FTP client and server programs, and many of these are free. You
may enable or disable FTP server support as well as supported file character set language
by navigating to Network - FTP. Click (Apply) to activate changes, or (Cancel) to abort.
3.3.6 iTunes Server
Your PlatinumNAS is capable of sharing music to all
iTunes enabled hosts on your network. When enabled,
any iTunes 7.x enabled hosts that is set to “Look for
Shared Libraries” can access and playback music located
on the “Music” share of your PlatinumNAS. TYou may
enable or disable iTunes Server support as well as
set an shared library name, password, library rescan
interval, and MP3 tag encoding standard by navigating
to Network - iTunes. Click (Apply) to activate changes.
To access your shared music from iTunes, simply navigate to the PlatinumNAS shared
library as named in the configuration as illustrated:
3.3.7 nSync Target Service
nSync is an FTP compatible synchronization method
that allows backup and restoration of a share folder to
another PlatinumNAS Target or any FTP server. When
using nSync between two PlatinumNAS units, the
synchronization also enables secure encryption. You
may enable or disable nSync target support by navigating to Network - nSync Target.
Click (Apply) to activate changes, or (Cancel) to abort.
