    This should not have been necessary. You should have been able to see all the shares that are configured to allow FTP using your admin logon/password. If you have other users configured, you should have been able to use their credentials, and seen whatever data they are permitted to see.

    I am wondering
    (a) what shares are enabled for FTP access
    (b) how many users/groups you have configured on the NAS, and if they have limited access permissions.
  • i do not have any shares. i am mapping volumes using iscsi.

    i do not have any other users created.
