You should now have access to the share via the mount point directory on your

UNIX/Linux Users: Accessing Storage through FTP
UNIX and Linux users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to
which they have privileges on the NSS storage using NFS or FTP. Note that when
using FTP to access the NSS storage, users cannot rename folders. This is due to
FTP standards (any FTP servers that allow renaming of folders deviate from these
standards).
To access the NSS storage using FTP:
STEP 1 Open your FTP client application.
STEP 2 Enter the NSS hostname/IP address.
STEP 3 Enter any other required settings. If using FTPS, ensure that the client is set to use
Explicit FTPS. For more help using the FTP client, refer to the FTP client
documentation.
STEP 4 Enter your username and password when prompted by the FTP client.
STEP 5 Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
NOTE: Before your end users can access the
shares on the NSS using FTP, the NSS network
filters must be set up to allow FTP access. The
individual share must be also be set up to allow
FTP access.
