Landisk (Me-850) FTP Server Remote Accessing Through Internet

This document provides instructions for setting up an FTP server on a LanDisk device to allow for remote access over the internet. It involves 3 steps: 1. Configuring the FTP server settings on the LanDisk including enabling FTP, setting the port, permissions, and home directory. 2. Configuring port forwarding on the home router to direct external requests on the FTP port to the LanDisk's internal IP address. 3. Connecting to the FTP server from an FTP client using either an anonymous login or authorized user account, using the router's public IP address and matching port number.
