Does the built in antivirus protection scan everything including FTP traffic?

To my understanding it is scanning files being put on the system, that should include all protocals/channels bringing the content to the nas.

Somebody with deeper insight might want to comment. Thanks.

      It's looking at the file system - it doesn't know (or care) what application wrote the files to the file system.
