What are the steps to make My Book Live work with ftp file transfer ?

I am using Windows 7.

Thanks

Enable FTP in the Setup menus.

Done.

I did Enable FTP in the Setup menus…

But don’t you need to finds out IP address and do port forwarding ?

So how do I find out IP address ?

I use this to find out-

Where to I create the username and password for ftping ?

I assume it is not the same useranme and password you login with to MY Book Live or to enter the Network drive ?

Thanks,

Heh.  You didn’t say you needed the steps to enable FTP *for remote access*.

 I assume it is not the same useranme and password you login with to MY Book Live or to enter the Network drive ?

Of course it’s the same.

Do some reading or Google it, but mainly…

  • Set FTP on MLB

  • Forward port on router

  • Set DDNS if router supports it.

But yes, it is not plug and play for external access + you depend on your router.

FTP is not a secure protocol BTW, if sensitive data, SSH for SCP/SFTP is recommended.
