How to configure tz470 on a shared LAN

We just moved our office into a shared office space that provides internet. I need to configure our own LAN to keep our devices isolated from the shared network, but I also need to be able to have outside users access our file server via FTP.
With the TZ 470 wan set to DHCP, and my LAN configured, all of my devices work and can communicate.
My file server is configured with for DDNS with changeip.com but the server isn't reachable.
Since I don't have access to the buildings router, is there a way to configure the TZ470's WAN to be a bridge connection?

To answer the question: yes you can configure interfaces in a 'bridge mode'.
But that won't actually do anything for you.
Since you want to provide external access to your FTP server you will either need to have your own internet circuit, or have the building IT allow FTP traffic to your Sonicwalls WAN IP, then youll have to allow it through.
We recommend our clients with internal server infrastructure avoid shared office spaces for reasons like this.
