you can see the connected data
carriers, which are connected via USB. The bar chart informs you about the storage,
which is already taken.
6.5.2 Manage User
Establish user accounts, with which you can access connected data carrier and
printers. You can clear all contents or just single file folders or data carriers for the
users. Like this you have the possibility, to lock or clear created folders in your

The user data will be carried by the networkable devices, if these are trying to access
the network storage (NAS) or the printer.

6.5.3 Access via FTP/FTPS
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for data transmission. Allow the access, if
you want to access your network storage (NAS) via internet from far. FTPS (FTP via
SSL) is an encrypted variant and therefore more secure than FTP.
Suggestion:
You can also access from your home network via FTP/FTPS to the
network storage connected to your Speedport.
For the access via internet your Speedport has to get a name in the internet. For that
you can choose from different services for dynamic DNS, i. e. dyndns.org. If you have
booked a service enter the access data in the menu Internet - Dynamic DNS.
Suggestion:
Further information for the settings of dynamic DNS can be found in the
section DynamicDNS.
With an FTP program you can with every networkable device on your network
storage and exchange data.

Notice:
Via FTP the authentification data (User name, personal password) and the
data transmission will be sent unencrypted. We suggest the use of FTPS.

explorer under network environment (or network). Via these entries the network
storages (NAS) connected to your Speedport can also have access. The default
setting in your Speedport is the work group

Windows Version different standard work groups will be in use.
