Thecus 2TB Storage Server N299 N299_2100 Leaflet

With a bevy of additional features and services, the N299 is so much more than a 
mere external hard disk. The sections below show you how you can utilize your 

N299 to serve files, music, movies, pictures, and more. 

N299 can act as a FTP 

server, enabling users to 
download and upload files 
with their favorite FTP 

programs. From the 
Network menu, choose 

the FTP item, and the 
FTP screen appears. You 

can change any of these 
items and press Apply to 

confirm your settings. A 
description of each item 
follows:
