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.
Adding a new Account
To create a new account and share files, click New.
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.
Select the account from the list and click Modify.
Here you can modify the settings and also create and manage the shared folders. Click Create to add a new folder.
Enter a name for the new folder (maximum 64 bytes) and click OK.
Select the new folder in the “Folder List” and then click the arrow key to move it to the “Sharing List”. Once it is in the “Sharing List”, the folder can be accessed by the selected user.
You can rename and remove the folders from the sharing list at any time.
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.
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.
Codepage
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.
