You can use FTP and FTPS to access any shared folders that are enabled for the FTP and FTPS file-sharing protocols.

For better security, use an FTPS client to connect to your ReadyNAS using the FTP file-sharing protocol. With FTPS, your password and data are encrypted.
If you are using FTPS, you must use explicit mode (also known as FTPES or AUTH TLS) in your FTP client.
To access a shared folder using FTP:
1. Ensure that the FTP file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see the How do I set Network Acccess Rights to Shared Folders on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
2. Launch an FTP client or a terminal program.
3. Log in to your ReadyNAS system, as follows:
-
If you required user FTP access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol, log in using user or administrator credentials for your ReadyNAS system. If you log in as a user, your access is limited by the settings configured by the ReadyNAS system administrator.
-
If you allowed anonymous access when you enabled the FTP-file sharing protocol, log in as anonymous and use your email address for the password.
