MY BOOK WORLD EDITION USER MANUAL To access data via FTP: You can access data in a shared folder on My Book World Edition with a widely used FTP client software program. An FTP client software program must be installed on the computer you are using to access the device, and FTP service must be enabled on the My Book World Edition (see "To enable other network services:" on page 118 and "To modify properties of the share:" on page 131 for details). 1. Open an FTP client software program. 2. Enter ftp://username@IP address as the host name (e.g., ftp://[email protected]) or just the device's IP address depending on the FTP client software program you are using. Note: Click System Status in either the basic or Advanced Mode to view the device's IP address. 3. Enter the My Book World Edition user name and corresponding password. 4. Click the Connect or OK button. You can now upload files to or download files from My Book World Edition across the LAN. It is possible to upload files to or download files from My Book World Edition across the Internet (WAN), but this requires custom router configuration and is recommended only for advanced users. Workgroup The Workgroup button on the Network tab home page allows you to set up the network storage device as a workgroup or a domain member. The default setting is Workgroup. Domains are controlled from a central location (domain controller) and require central authentication before you can join them. Workgroups, in contrast, are much simpler to control. As long as you know the workgroup name, you can add any computer to a workgroup. If your network uses a domain (has a Windows 2003 Active Directory Service (ADS), you may wish to connect this device as a domain member. When configured as a domain member, the device asks the ADS to authenticate users. Therefore, as a domain member, the device provides user-level security. ADS enables the administrator to manage users' permissions in a central location and to propagate these permissions to multiple devices. For example, any device that has a domain on ADS inherits the user list and associated permissions. When joining a domain, the device must be authorized by the domain's administrator. You must enter the fully qualified Domain Name, Domain Controller IP Address, Domain Administrator Name, and Domain Administrator Password for the authorization.
