First you will need to enable the FTP Service on the NAS control panel. Then you will need to add an account and give it a username. Next select the newly added user and click Modify. Give the username a password, make sure it is enabled, and give it the correct Access Rights that you wish to assign. On the "Share List" to the right are the folders you have on the NAS that you can share over the FTP protocol. The "Account Share" on the left are the folders that you wish to let this user have access to when they login using FTP. Select the folder on the left and click add to put it in the account share list. Repeat this untill all the folders that you wish this user to have access to is on this list. Click the Modify button to save your work and move on to setting up the NAS with a Static IP address.
You must setup your NAS with a Static IP address. To do this login to the NAS and navagate to the IP configuration page. You will need an IP address on your network that is not being used. Type in the subnet mask (if you need to find your subnet mask go to Start-Run and type cmd, at the DOS prompt type ipconfig/all and read the subnet mask line). The Gateway and Primary DNS will be the IP address of your router (you can leave the Secondary DNS blank). Click apply and you will be ready to move on to the next step.
To FTP into your Simple NAS from outside of your network, you must know the external IP address of your network. You must also have a router that has a Virtual Server (or Port Forwarding) setting to route the FTP port to the IP address and port 21 of the Simple NAS.
