Access to the LG NAS through FTP or AFP is configured with this function.
- For router use, the router settings need to be changed. Please refer to port-forwarding of DMZ settings in the router’s manual.
- FTP
- An FTP offers a handy environment when accessing LG NAS on the Internet.
- The use of FTP service can be established through “Enable”. The Windows image is explained here. The method below is applicable to other OSs.
- ① Use the FTP connection program, or open explorer and input the address 『ftp: //LG NAS IP address』. If the IP address is not known, refer to <2.4.2 PC Application Program Usage> or <3.3.1 IP Setup>.
- Use of a DDNS service offered by the LG NAS allows connection to ftp://UserID.lgnas.com, in place of an IP address. For more details, please refer to DDNS
- ② Input the user name and password and login
- ③ Look at the sharing folder. Folders and files can be managed via drag and drop, allowing for name change and delete.
- Depending on the local network environment, use of the firewall in the FTP server may be prohibited. For FTP server problems, consult the router's manual or contact the network administrator.
- AFP
- The AFP offers a similar environment to Windows folder sharing.
- AFP is available within networks with the installed LG NAS, but not for external access without network setting changes due to firewall and other restrictions.
- If there are no special reasons Windows Sharing is recommended, as the Mac OS X basically supports Windows Folder Sharing.
