Result
The
Shared
folder and its subfolders are now accessible using FTP. The other folders are not accessible via FTP.
If you are connected to the Internet, the link to the FTP server is displayed under FTP Server:
On the Technicolor Gateway network, you can also access the FTP server using its local address (192.168.1.253).
Additional configuration
Because most service providers use dynamic IP addresses, the IP address of your Internet connection may change
frequently. This implies that the link to the FTP server will also change every time the public IP changes. With
Dynamic
DNS
, you can assign a host name to the IP address (for example
mygateway.dyndns.org
). For more information, see
“8.3 Dynamic DNS” on page 73
