Chapter 5: File-Sharing & Sync DSM supports the most common protocols to provide seamless file access from Windows, Mac, and Linux devices: • For Windows: SMB/CIFS • For Mac: AFP, SMB • For Linux: NFS, SMB Each operating system has a native file-sharing protocol that delivers the best performance for that platform. SMB supports all three types of operating systems but may be slower than NFS and AFP. Each protocol also has different security implications. To enable one or more file-sharing protocols, go to Control Panel > File Services. For more information, refer to the respective SMB, AFP, and NFS articles. FTP FTP is a convenient way to share files with known or anonymous users. Users can access an FTP server from their computers using web browsers or FTP clients. You can level up transfer security with FTP over SSL (FTPS) and SSH FTP (SFPT). To learn how to configure FTP service, refer to the articles under FTP. 5.3 File Station File Station is a built-in file manager for users to access and manage files easily.
