Can this be set up as FTP server?

I think this depends on what you want to do. If you want to use scp rather than old-school FTP, I can't see why it wouldn't work, since the box can run an SSH daemon. But if you mean traditional FTP, say as a server that would allow anybody to obtain files from the box by running an FTP daemon on it, then I would think that this is not straightforwardly possible. It is an embedded Linux system with Busybox as the user application stack, and I am not sure this offers ftpd. You can certainly configure the device so that it is accessible from anywhere, assuming it can connect to the internet (and is visible outside the local network, say by port forwarding through your ADSL box, cable modem, or whatever).

Yes it can but you have to configure it to do so. look up "port forwarding" Cheers

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server

Yes. Just set up port forwarding on your router. And if you want, you can use a dynamic DNS service to maintain a constant URL to access through.

hi dan, i just talked to my IT tech partner and he said yes you can, just watch how you configure it.

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.

The software is required, however, it is dead simple to set up on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I have mine hosted on AWS.

I would not know the answer. If it will record of fan IP I guess it would work. I played with the FTP upload and it worked fine

Yes. Make sure you have a screw driver. It took less than 30mimutes to set it up.

yes you can connect to the hotel service to create your own server. However, I had a lot of trouble with my unit, having to reset over and over. Returned when I found out how bad customer support was at NETGEAR and they wanted me to pay for shipping their out-of-box defective product back for a swap.

Yes, this can be set up as just a external hard drive for storage. That is what we use it for.

You can rSync to do it. Or have QNAP's RTRR keep pulling data from synology over FTP that should work too.

Hmm, why would you use ftp? This is a streaming device, just to send SD video over IP. Nothing else...

I don't think you can. This unit uses its own proprietary file system (a pain, IMHO), and formats the drives at install.It's a decent unit if you know your way around linux and have time to configure it, but I have to say that overall it's not a system you can easily jump into and set up quickly...

Yes, you can use it as an iTunes server. This NAS is AMAZING!!! You can use it as an FTP server, ssh, file server, dlna ready, twonky server for movie streaming, share pics, mp3 streaming, remote file access and a Lot more. I can't complaint. Can be accessed from my iPhone. I get notifications and can even turn off the unit from my iPhone

You would have to set it up in infrastructure mode then open a internet browser and put the IP address in....

Never tried that but I don't know why that wouldn't work.Keep in mind you have be configured to a SIP server first.
