Transfer Protocols

Sharing Protocols and Features

CyberData supports multiple file transfer protocols, including SMB, FTP, NFS, DLNA, and WebDAV.

Different protocols offer varying functionalities. Below is an introduction to the features and operational guidance for each file transfer protocol.

Operational Guidance: Open CyberData, enable the desired service (such as SMB, NFS, DLNA, etc.) under Local Area Network Sharing, and proceed with the relevant configuration.

SMB

Allows users within a local area network to mount shared folders from the NAS device onto their local computers, enabling centralized file storage and unified management. Supports NT1, SMB2, and SMB3 protocols to ensure the security and stability of file transfers.

FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used for transferring computer files between a client and a server on a computer network. The FTP protocol provides a simple and convenient method for file transfer, supports FTPS encrypted transmission, and is suitable for automatically backing up data such as camera photos to the NAS.

WebDAV

WebDAV allows clients to create, edit, move, and delete remote files via HTTP/HTTPS. It supports cross-platform collaborative editing and resource sharing, and is suitable for integration with supporting web applications to achieve file management and access within applications.

NFS

NFS (Network File System) is a network file system protocol based on TCP/IP transmission. Through the NFS protocol, clients can access shared resources on remote servers as if they were local directories. It is primarily used in Unix/Linux environments, allows file sharing between different machines, and is ideal for using the NAS as network storage for other devices.

DLNA

The DLNA function can build a home entertainment network, allowing electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, TVs, and set-top boxes to easily access resources like photos, music, and videos.

After enabling this service, all devices and applications within the local area network that support the DLNA protocol can discover the current device and are permitted to access multimedia files within the DLNA scan path.

Access and Share via Samba Protocol

1. Click on "LAN Share" on the homepage, select "Samba", and enter the settings interface. Click on "Account Password" to set up.

2. In the pop-up window, you can click on "Auto Generate" at the bottom left to generate an account based on the username, or set it up manually, then click on "Create" at the bottom right to complete the account creation.

3. After creating the account, the main account and public space access are automatically enabled by default, while personal space needs to be manually enabled. You can also click on "One-click Mount" to mount the storage path to your computer.
