General FTP settings

By default, the FTP server is disabled.
 To enable the FTP server, you need to set the „Service status‟ in the „FTP service configuration‟ to
"Enable".
 Click "Apply" in the „FTP service configuration‟ section to save the settings.
The default port for FTP is port 21 for active FTP connections and port range 65400 ~ 65420 for passive FTP
connections.
Note: Active FTP connections are often used by FTP software packages, like FireZilla, SmartFTP or Total
Commander. Passive FTP connections are often used by browsers, like Internet Explorer or Mozilla.
In order to make sure you can connect to the FTP server with any application, you need to forward port 21
and port range 65400 ~ 65420 in your router to the IP address of the Home Media Store.
See the documentation of your router how to forward the FTP port.
When the FTP „Service status‟ is set to „Enabled‟, you can configure the sharing for the FTP server.
The access to the FTP server can be configured for anonymous and/or created users.
6.2

Anonymous access

By default, anonymous access is disabled. You can enable the anonymous FTP access with the steps below.
Note: If you have forwarded the FTP ports for the Home Media Store in your router, enabling anonymous access
can be a high security risk. We strongly suggest allowing only created users through FTP.
 To enable anonymous read access, you need to set „Anonymous FTP login‟ in the „Anonymous FTP‟ section
to "Enable".
 Click "Apply" in the „Anonymous FTP‟ section to save the settings.
You can now login to the Home Media Store FTP server without a username and password.
Note: The anonymous access is limited to the „Public‟ folder of the Home Media Store. It is not possible to share
other folders for anonymous users.
If you want to allow the anonymous users to read & write in the „Public‟ folder of the Home Media Store, you need
to change the access permission of the anonymous login.
 Set „Anonymous FTP access‟ in the „Anonymous FTP‟ section to "Read & Write".
 Click "Apply" in the „Anonymous FTP‟ section to save the settings.
Anonymous users can now read & write in the „Public‟ folder of your Home Media Store.
