5.3.3 File Services
You can enable the SMB/ CIFS file service, Web File Manager and FTP service to
access the recorded video files. These settings are enabled by default.
If your VioStor is installed behind the router, you could enable FTP port mapping, so
that users from the external network can access the VioStor via FTP (please refer to
Appendix B).
Passive FTP Port Range
You can use the default port range (55536-56559) or define a port range larger than
1023. When using this function, make sure you have opened the configured port
range on your router or firewall.
Respond with external IP address for passive FTP connection request
When passive FTP connection is in use and the VioStor is configured under a router,
if the remote computer cannot connect to the VioStor via WAN, you can enable this
function. By enabling this function, the FTP service replies the manually specified
IP address or automatically detects the external IP address so that the remote
computer can connect to the VioStor successfully.
