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 LinkStation

• 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 LinkStation 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 characters 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.
