To access the TeraStation with an FTP client
Configure your FTP client software with the following settings:
Host Name
IP address of the TeraStation.
•
Username
Username registered on the TeraStation
•
Password
Password registered to the TeraStation
•
Port
21

You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the TeraStation.
•
Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the TeraStation. The restrictions aren’t displayed for users
•
without permissions for the share.
To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to configure your router and firewall. Consult
•
your router documentation for more information.
Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:
•
disk1 share
-
usbdisk1
-
info
-
The internal hard drive of the TeraStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as
•
usbdisk1.
”usbdisk1” is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected, or if access is restricted.
•
Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous user:
To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share. Configure your FTP client as
follows:
Host Name
IP address of the TeraStation
•
Username
anonymous
•
Password
any set of characters
•
Port
21
•
Example ftp://192.168.11.150/
To make your FTP share available from outside your network, you will need to configure your router and firewall.
•
Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to allow FTP traffic.
If the TeraStation joins a domain, anonymous users cannot access it.
•
Folders created or copied via an AFP connection may not be deleted from the AFP connection. This is because an
•
automatically generated “.AppleDouble” folder begins with a dot. To delete these files, use an SMB connection.
Do not exceed 250 bytes for a file/folder name including directory path when you are creating it by using an FTP
•
connection. Otherwise, you cannot view or delete it in Explorer or other applications.
