port forward supported, but the Ethernet supports up to 100Mbps only) (N2310, N4310 and all
Thecus NAS support up to 1000Mbps).

Microsoft IE supports FTP client connection, but does not support UTF-8 encode. For ASIA users, it is
strongly recommended to choose the FTP client program which support UTF-8, such as FILEZAILLA

If you need to access via FTP (FILEZILLA) to ensure multiple user ACL/permission, you can do so via
QUICKCONNECT to verify difference user accounts. FTP will show which folders the users have
access to, but Windows NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD (SAMBA) (SMB) will list all NAS folders and
users will need to click each folder to see the status.

can access with a browser at http://172.16.67.1:9800/ (if NAS IP at 172.16.67.1) This will enable you
