Step 1:

• \r\n
• Synology Administrative Menu \r\n
• Network Services \r\n
• FTP Service \r\n
• Enable FTP Service, press OK. Note: when accessing your Synology server remotely over an insecure network, e.g. the internet, it is recommended to only use secure/encrypted communication to the Server to protect against others accessing your passwords and data. However on a network you consider secure (e.g. your home network) you may not want the processing overhead or restrictions imposed by using encrypted communication. Consequently be carefull before checking the "Allow SSL/TLS connection only" check box. Checking this option will prevent you using Microsofts Windows Explorer as your ftp client as it does not support SSL/TLS. \r\n
• If your Synology Station is attached to a router, be sure to activate the option 'report external IP in PASV mode' if you want to access your data through the internet.
