Section 4 - Configuration Application Management FTP Server The Application Management section allows you to configure multiple services for your DNS-327L. The server and service settings include: FTP Server, Add-Ons, AFP Service, NFS Service, and Multimedia Services. Let's begin by looking at configuration options for the FTP server. Maximum Users: Set the maximum number of users that can connect to the FTP server. Idle Time: Set the amount of time a user can remain idle before being disconnected. Port: Set the FTP port. Default is 21. If you are behind a router, you will need to forward the FTP port from the router to the device. Additional filtering and firewall settings may need to be modified on your router to allow FTP access to the device from the Internet. Once the port has been forwarded on the router, users from the Internet will access the FTP server through the WAN IP address of the router. Passive Mode: Passive mode must be used in situations where the device is behind a firewall and unable to accept incoming TCP connections. Client Language: Most standard FTP clients, like Windows FTP, only support Western European client language when transferring files. Support has been added for non-standard FTP clients that are capable of supporting these character sets. Flow Control: Allows you to limit the amount of bandwidth available for each user. SSL/TLS: Theusercanenable SSL/TLS(SecureSocketsLayer/TransportLayerSecurity). FXP: Enable or Disable File eXhange Protocol to transfer files from one FTP server to another. Note: In order to use FXP (File exchange Protocol) for server-to-server data transfer, make sure to change the port from 21 to some other port as listed in the Port section of the Web UI. Also, make sure to open the corresponding port on your router and forward that port from your router to the device. D-Link DNS-327L User Manual 214
