* Unless additional precautions are taken, use of an FTP server to access
files over the Internet does not provide for secure or encrypted
transmissions. It is recommended that the end-user utilize a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) to establish a secure FTP session. Failure to properly
disconnect USB drive may result in data loss and/or damage to the device.
