Buffalo TS-6VH6.0TL/R6EU [63/75] Accessing the terastation with an anonymous user

To access the TeraStation with an FTP client

Congure your FTP client software with the following settings:

• Host Name IP address of the TeraStation.

• Username Username registered on the TeraStation

• Password Password registered to the TeraStation

• Port 21

Example ftp://192.168.11.150/

• You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the TeraStation.

• Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the TeraStation. The restrictions aren’t displayed for users

without permissions for the share.

• To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to congure your router and rewall. Consult

your router documentation for more information.

• Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:

- disk1 share

- usbdisk1

• The internal hard drive of the TeraStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as

usbdisk1.

• ”usbdisk1” is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected or access is restricted.

Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous user:

To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share. Congure your FTP client as

follows:

• Host Name IP address of the TeraStation

• 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 congure your router and rewall.

Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to allow FTP trac.

• If the TeraStation 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 les, use an SMB connection.

• Do not exceed 250 bytes for a le/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.
