Note: You will also need a FTP client which supports UNC paths. Replace the local folder path with the appropriate UNC path. Scroll down to the username or search for itĥ. Open “FileZilla Server.xml” in a text editor like Notepadģ. Then manually set the home directory to the UNC path:Ģ. Do not try to point it to a mapped drive for the NAS. Next create a FTP user in FileZilla with access to a directory local to that server. Setup FTP user and manually edit home directory

Enter the password for this user -> Confirm it -> Click OK On the “Log On” tab check “This account” -> Browse -> Advanced -> Find Now -> Select “Administrator” -> OK -> OKĤ.

Right click the “FileZilla Server FTP server” service and choose Propertiesģ. Open services (Start -> Run -> Services.msc)Ģ.

In order for FileZilla Server’s FTP users to be able to access files on a NAS device, a few changes are needed.
