Note:

If your Internet access is controlled through a router, or if your network uses a firewall device of any kind, it will likely be necessary to configure the router or

firewall device to allow FTP requests from the Internet. Often it is possible to configure the router to direct FTP traffic to specified devices, in this case, to the DNS-343.

Usually, at a minimum, it is necessary to enter the IP address of the DNS-343 and the TCP port used for FTP (port 21). See the user documentation of the firewall

device or router for information on creating forwarding rules for FTP traffic to devices on the LAN.

Section 3 - Configuration

If you are behind a router, you will need to forward the FTP port from the router to the DNS-343.

Additional filtering

and firewall settings may need to be modified on your router to allow FTP Access to the DNS-343 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.

If you are using a D-Link router, such as the WBR-2310 used in the example below, your port forwarding rule should

be similar to the following:

Name

Name the DNS-343 FTP server

rule.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the

DNS-343.

Public Port

Enter the public FTP port.

By

default, the port is 21.

Private Port

Enter the private FTP port.

By

default, the port is 21.

Traffic Type

Set the traffic type to TCP.

If you use an FTP port other than 21, then users accessing the FTP server using an FTP client will have to

specify the non-standard port, and users who are using a browser will have to specify the port in the URL

(e.g. ftp://ftp.dns323.com:3000, where the FTP port is 3000).
