Notes: 
•  Don't use FTP to share files and folders with multi-byte characters in their names with a Mac. Use an AFP or 

SMB connection instead.

•  If a file was created or copied by AFP, you may not be able to delete it using an FTP connection. If this occurs, 

use an SMB or AFP connection instead to delete the file.

•  For FTP connections, make sure that the total filename including directory path is 250 single-byte characters 

or less.

•  The FTP guest account (username "guest" and blank password) does not have permission to access an 

external hard drive connected to the LinkStation. To access an external drive, log in as an administrator or 
registered user.
