Share Service

SMB Service

You can create a maximum of 16 accounts. For folders and account names, use only the English alphabet, without any special characters or spaces. The ports used by the SMB server are 137-139.

The default account is created automatically. The user name is “guest” and no password has been set. Like any other account, you can modify, delete or disable it.

Only the folders on the sharing list will be accessible on the network. Select an account, click Modify and then use the arrow buttons to add and remove the folders from that list.
Deleting a folder will also erase all the files that are stored inside that directory!

Adding a new Account

  1. To create a new account and share files, click New.

  2. Enter a name and a password for the user of the new account. Define the access rights for the new user, Read Only or Read/Write, and click Add.

FTP Service

You can create a maximum of 16 accounts. When creating FTP accounts, only use the English alphabet, without special characters or spaces. The default account (anonymous) is created automatically but like any other account, you can modify, delete or disable it.

For FTP file transfers, we recommend using a dedicated FTP application.

FTP Port

The standard port for the FTP service is 21. If required, you can change it and use any port number from 1025-65500, however generally, we recommend using the default of 21. When you change the port number for the FTP server, remember to adjust your firewall, otherwise, the FTP access will likely be blocked.

By default, the encoding is set to English. If you want to store or transfer files with a different encoding (different language), choose the corresponding language from the drop down menu list. Click Apply to confirm the selection and change the language setting. If you are unclear about which encoding to select, click help for further details.

Media Service

The UPnP-AV media server can be used to share your photos, music and videos that are stored on the network drive with an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 video game console, WMP12 or other DLNA compatible devices that are connected to the same local network as well as stream music to iTunes media players.

Media Server

  1. From the drop-down list of the corresponding list, select the folder where your media files (e.g. photos, music, videos) are stored.

  2. Repeat the previous step for each media type (photo, music, video).

  3. The file sharing can be disabled at any time by clicking DISABLE for the corresponding directory.

Depending on the video game console, only certain media files can be accessed. For the Xbox 360, you can play JPG, MP3 and WMV files. For the PlayStation 3, you can play JPG, MP3, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files. iTunes will only be able to play MP3 music files.

iTunes Playlist

Whenever you add or remove MP3 files to the music directory, click Build to refresh the database.

If for some reasons, iTunes lists files that no longer exist or some files are missing, click Remove to clear the database and then click Build to build a new database.
