FRITZ!NAS Security Diagnostics

Diagnostics / Security

FRITZ!NAS is a user interface for accessing the contents of the storage media on the FRITZ!Box. The security diagnostics checks the "FRITZ!NAS" area for how the access rights to the FRITZ!Box's storage media are configured. This includes which user has access to which storage media, which rights are associated with this access, and whether access is permitted only from the home network, or also from the Internet.

For access from the Intneret the FRITZ!Box further checks whether remote access is permitted via the HTTPS protocol or FTP/FTPS, and whether links have been specified for sharing.
