to prevent a particular user from accessing it altogether or to limit a user to
read-only access), all existing users have full read/write access to the public
folder when accessing it via FTP.
To access the storage system using FTP:
1. At any Windows or OS X computer, open a Web browser, enter the following in the
address bar, and press Enter: “ftp://user_name@storage_system” where user_name is the
user name as defined on the storage system and storage_system is the name or IP
address of the storage system (for example, “ftp://user1@storage” or
“ftp://user1@192.168.0.101”). You can use guest as the user name, but you will be able to
access only the public folder.
.Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered
with a DNS server on your network.
2. If prompted, enter your user name and password for accessing shared folders, and then
click “OK”. If you used the guest user name, the password is also guest.
3. Double-click any of the displayed folders or files to open them. You have full read/write
access to all the folders and files in both the public folder and your personal folder, and you
can create new ones. If you browse to other websites, you will remain logged in until you
close the browser window. (That is, you can return to the FTP site using the Back button in
your browser window.)
Note: Files copied to or from the storage system using FTP can be no larger
than 2 GB.
4.2 System Backups with DiskSafe Express
Even if most of your data is stored and protected on your storage system, your operating
system files, applications, and many other files still reside on each individual computer in your
network. If one of those local disks fails, it can take many hours to re-install and reconfigure
the operating system and applications on a new or repaired hard disk, and some files might be
completely lost.
DiskSafe Express is a software application designed to address this issue. On each computer
where it is installed, DiskSafe Express provides reliable data protection and rapid data
recovery in the event of a system crash or disk failure.
DiskSafe Express protects Windows desktops and laptops by backing up their local disks or
partitions to the storage system. To make sure that you have recent copies of your local disk,
