Sharing Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
modem router allows you to share very large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip
files over the Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the modem
router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves
the following considerations:
• The
re are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the modem router. By default, it is password. The guest user
account has no password.
• On the
FTP site, the person receiving the files should use the guest user account and
enter any password (FTP requires that you type something in the password field).
• B
e sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage Advanced Settings
screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
Note: You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the Advanced
USB Storage screen to share large files. This option supports
downloading files only.
