Section 3 - Configuration
Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32-Bit 
Windows family. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared logical volume to its clients. These guarantees 
inform the Client that a file’s content will not be allowed to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, 
the client will be notified before the change is allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network file sharing however when using  
file-based database applications it is recommended to set the share oplocks to  No (off).
By default, Windows Vista
® has Oplocks enabled and cannot be disabled. If you are having network performance issues 
with applications sharing files from the DIR-685 you may try to improve performance by setting Oplocks to  No (off). 
When enabled, the file attribute ”Archive” will be set for files stored on the DIR-685. Certain backup software set this 
attribute for files that are being stored as backups.

The  DIR-685  is  equipped  with  a  built  in  FTP Server,  which  is  easy  to  configure.  It allows  users  access  to  important 
data whether they are on the local network or at a remote location. The FTP server can be configured to allow user 
access to specific directories, and will allow up to 10 users to access the DIR-685 at a time. For improved security, the
