• I am a VOSI.biz user, how do I log on VOSI.biz's FTP Site?

  Using any third party FTP client software, connect to ftp.vosi.biz at the default port 21, and log on using your VOSI.biz user name and password; using Internet Explorer, you can enter: ftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@ftp.vosi.biz/.
  It is strongly recommended using VOSI.biz File Explorer as it has a lot more features than regular FTP.

• What is the No.1 technical advice that users should know?
  

  When accessing behind a NAT/firewall, please set FTP access mode to PASSIVE(PASV). Since Microsoft command-line FTP doesn't support passive mode, please use the FTP clients mentioned above. 

• I am not a VOSI.biz user, and I have received a share notification e-mail from my friend. How can I access the shared folder through FTP?
  

  Please read the share notification e-mail, you will find instructions there.
      1. You can click on the share notification link, which gives you read-only or download only access to the shared files;
      2. Sign up a free VOSI.biz account using the email address; then log on using your username and password. The shared files will appear in your account in a special folder: \VOSIShare\OtherUserName\ShareName
  To gain Write Access to the shared files/folders, you must use the second method.

• What access level will I have for a shared folder from a friend?

  If you are not a VOSI.biz member, you will have read-only access to a shared folder, even if the owner has authorized higher level of access to you. To access at the authorized level, please sign up an account on VOSI.biz.

• Can I share a folder to one user with write permission, and another user with read-only permission?

  Yes. You can logon VOSI.biz or VOSI.biz File Explorer, share the folder with "Full Access" permission to one user; and then share the same folder to another user with read-only permission. To accesss a shared folder with write permission, the user must be a VOSI.biz member. Otherwise, he/she will have read-only permission.

• Can I just let everybody access my folder without an account and without logon?

  Yes, but you must be a Paid Member or a True Member. You can logon VOSI.biz or VOSI.biz File Explorer and publish the folder. Files in a published folder can be downloaded by any Internet users without logon. See the next question for more info.

  Yes, just logon VOSI.biz, click on My Account and then click on Group Account. You can upgrade your account to a Group Account for free. You can then create sub-accounts. As a group owner or administrator, you can allocate storage space and bandwidth to your sub-accounts.

• Can I log on anonymously to access a published folder?

  Yes, if you know the publisher's user name, which, let's say, is "Mike". Log on with the user name "anonymous" and your e-mail address as the password. Once connected, enter the folder "/Mike", and you will see all the folders that Mike has published.

• Files in a published folder can also be accessed directly through a link like:

  ftp://ftp.vosi.biz/USERNAME/PUBLISHNAME/FILENAME
  e.g.: ftp://ftp.vosi.biz/VOSI.biz/VOSI.bizSoftware/VOSI.bizFileExplorer.exe
