ReadyNAS OS 6.7 Table 4. Supported file-sharing protocols (Continued) Protocol Description Recommendation FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (FTP with SSL encryption) Many public file upload and download sites use If users access your storage system using FTP. The ReadyNAS supports anonymous or FTP, enable this protocol. user access for FTP clients. You can elect to set up port forwarding to nonstandard ports for passive FTP, allowing clients to initiate a connection to the ReadyNAS. iTunes Used by iTunes servers. If users store iTunes media on your storage system, enable this protocol. ReadyDLNA Used by DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) If users store media served by the servers. ReadyDLNA server, enable this protocol. Rsync Fast file transfer protocol that uses a delta-transfer algorithm to send only the differences between the source file and the existing file. If users access your storage system from a device that supports Rsync, enable this protocol. UPnP (Universal Plug Protocol for automatically controlling router ports If users attach UPnP devices to your network, and Play) to enable network devices to discover other enable this protocol. devices. Noet UPnP is used with ReadyCLOUD. If you use ReadyCLOUD, leave UPnP enabled. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP with SSL encryption) Used on the World Wide Web. If users access your storage system from a device with a web browser, including a smartphone or tablet computer, enable this protocol. SNMP An Internet-standard protocol for device management. If you use SNMP to manage the network, enable this protocol. SSH (Secure Shell) Protocol for secure data communication. If users connect to systems using SSH, enable this protocol. Antivirus Adds antivirus scanning to new files written using If users access files using the SMB protocol, the SMB protocol. and you want automatic antivirus scanning of those files, enable this protocol. Quotas on Shared Folders You can set and change quotas on shared folders. Without a quota, a shared folder can use all of the space on the volume it resides on. You cannot set quotas on home folders. Quotas are a property of the folder and can be set when the folder is created, or added or changed like any folder property. Bit Rot Protection Bit rot is a term sometimes used to describe the gradual changes in disks causing a slow loss of reliability. ReadyNAS OS can use the checksum functions to check for bit rot and the redundancy in RAID-protected disks to rewrite corrected data. Shared Folders 49
