Configuring Advanced Settings
ì
You can change the
Port
via which Internet users can access your data, to mask your
data and protect it from unauthorised users, for example.
ì
Choose the
Directory
in which the data is stored on the USB mass storage device
using the
Browse
button.
Internet users can access the HTTP server as follows:
ì
Open the Internet browser and enter the full address:
http://public IP address:[port]/directory/start file
Example:
If you use a dynamic DNS service (see page 67) enter the domain name given by
your service provider instead of the IP address.
Example:
Port
must only be entered if you are not using the default port 80.
FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging files on the Internet. You can use
this to offer files for downloading or to receive files from other users, for example.
ì
Choose
On
for
FTP service
if you want to make data available in the local network.
PCs in the network access the USB mass storage device via FTP.
To do this, open the Internet browser and enter the following address:
If you have changed the IP address of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl (see page 82), enter
ì
Choose
On
for
Remote FTP service
if you also want to make data available on the
Internet.
Internet users can access your USB mass storage device by entering the public IP
address in the Internet browser. As Internet service providers often change this each
time someone dials in, it is also worth using dynamic DNS (page 79).
ì
The
Port
field contains the port number via which local PCs and Internet users can
access your data. You should not change the default port number without very good
reason.
If you use a different port number, active FTP mode is no longer possible. FTP clients
must then be converted to passive FTP mode.
ì
Choose the
Directory
in which the data is stored on the USB mass storage device
using the
Browse
button.
You can allow general access for both FTP services, or only for selected users with a user
name and password.
ì
For
Access (read only)
, select whether all users should be able to read your data in
Anonymous
mode or whether only one
Specified user
should be supported.
ì
Specify whether
Access (full control)
to your data should be
disabled
or whether a
Specified user
may read, edit and delete your data.
