User manual BUFFALO LS-QL : LINKSTATION QUAD

[. . . ] User Manual LinkStation Quad LS-QL/R5 www. buffalotech. com v2. 2 Introduction Congratulations on your new LinkStation Quad. This user manual is intended to assist you in configuring it. Because we're constantly updating our products, the images and text in this manual may vary slightly from the images and text displayed by your LinkStation. These changes are minor and should not affect the ease of setup adversely. [. . . ] Type ftp:// username:password@IP_address/share into a browser window to access the LinkStation remotely. Users will have access to shares that they have local access rights to on the LinkStation. Your network administrator may need to forward traffic on port 21 of the router to the LinkStation's LAN-side IP address for FTP to work over the Internet. Enabling FTP is not recommended unless you've configured access restrictions. Step-by-step instructions for configuring FTP are on page 52. 43 Groups Groups allow for easier management of permissions in some networks, specifically networks with a lot of users in different departments.

Put checks next to each Member User that you want to be part of the group. Click Apply when your group is set up the way you want it.
