ou can enable the SMB/CIFS file service, Web File Manager and FTP service to
access the video files. These settings are enabled by default.

You can use the default port range (55536–56559) or define a port range larger
than 1023. When using this function, make sure you have opened the configured
the port range on your router or firewall.
Respond with external IP address for passive FTP connection request
When passive FTP connection is in use and VioStor is configured behind a router, you
can enable this function to allow connection to the NVR over WAN. By enabling this
function, the FTP service replies the manually specified IP address or automatically
detects the external IP address so that the remote computer can connect to VioStor
successfully.
