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

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

The software doc to ReadyNAS OS 6.9.3 says it only scans when writing files over SMB (i.e when writing from a Windows share. Here's a qoute:
"When enabled, the antivirus software scans new files as they are written over the SMB (CIFS) protocol. It does not scan existing files or files transferred over other protocols."
