Cant access Nas with Ftp works localy to access nas with normal network
Whenever i try to connect to my nas with ftp i get error "ECONNREFUSED - connection refuced by server" when trying from my windows phone and disable the wireless so it gets an external ipadress it get only that it could not connect to the server.
As this is my first time setting up the FTP access i am sure i must be doing something wrong but i really dont see what it could be can someone help me?
Firmware on router: V1.0.5.70_1.1.91
Nas brand: is LS-QVL9A6
Using portforward from range 50000 to 50050 external to internal port 20-70
Dynamic dns
Have both tryed from a windows phone (external with 4g) and from filezilla on a windows 10 pc within the same network.
error from log in router reads:

Ok, SFTP runs on top of SSH, so you only need to open port 22. You can close all of the other ports. You also need an SFTP client. Fortunately, FileZilla supports SFTP.
Needless to say, put a strong password on your NAS.

Using the win 10 PC can you access the NAS through FTP with local private IP address??

What port are you connecting to from your Windows phone with Wi-Fi disabled? Hint: The answer should be 50001, because your port forwarding rule maps 50001 to the command port for FTP (21). Don't bother trying this. Your port forwarding is wrong. More on this later.

This is not right. More below.

I assume this log corresponds to your filezilla test from your Windows PC. You cannot reliably test ftp to the external IP address from the internal network.

Svar: 502 Port mismatch. Received arguments contained port 50002. Command has been tained by router or firewall.I could be mistaken, but this doesn't look like a passive mode FTP. There should be a PASV command. The PORT command is usually indicative of active mode FTP.
As I mentioned above, your port forwarding rule doesn't look right. If you are trying to use passive mode FTP, then you need to do two things:
- Set up a range of ports that your FTP server will be listening on for incoming data connections. It looks like you are trying to use 50000-50050, which is fine.
- Set up port forwarding from 50000-50050 to 50000-50050. The external and internal ports must match because FTP exchanges the port number to use for the data connection between the client and server (via the PORT and PASV commands). If port forwarding changes the port, then the data connection will fail.
You'll also need to open port 21 so that external clients can reach the FTP server on the command port, so you'll need a separate port forwarding rule for that.

yes and also movefiles from the nas localy
I have now tryed my nas on my mothers place and opend port 21 it hers router then the nas worked direclty (just wanted to dublecheck there was not any issues with my nas)
i changed the settings and opend port 50000 to 50050 to 50000 and also opend port 20-21 when conneting it still states connection failed. with my phone (will also try on an external pc but that will need to be awhile until then)
The log i get when conneting to windows phone is: the only setting is dont understand is what encryption to use it is default at UTC-8 so i did not change it
[LAN access from remote] from x.x.x.x:51353 to 192.168.1.3:50001, Monday, Jul 04,2016 05:27:50
[LAN access from remote] from x.x.x.x:2454 to 192.168.1.3:50001, Monday, Jul 04,2016 05:27:46i have also reset the netgear to default (not reflash as i had the same issue on the same firmware that it came from and i dont want to risk anything in the router) aslo set everything up again but the issue remain after changing this. (nas internal ip is now 192.168.1.3 as i read somware (think it was toms hardware forum) that he got it to work by having an ip adress less then 20 witch i find strange but i tried anyway).
so in short (as i tend to type as i remeber them)
1. reset the router set it up all again also tryed on an diffrent network (then it did work)
2. not use the filezilla in the local net but use the phoine try try to connect
3. change the port to not change them internaly 50000 to 50050 and open port 21
4 try to connect again same issue
(i also can surf to the router with dynamic dns so that works just wanted to state this :) )
- Did you remember to set up both your server and client to use passive mode?
With your new port forwarding rules, you should now be connecting to port 21 with your client, not 50001.
Actually, this whole endeavor may be moot. FTP is not encrypted. You should be using an encrypted protocol like SFTP. Does your NAS support it?Did you remember to set up both your server and client to use passive mode?
hmm the phone does not have that i think will check this more (will set this up on the remove client though
With your new port forwarding rules, you should now be connecting to port 21 with your client, not 50001.aa ok

Edit:
i have checked it all folders in the linkstation have have SFTP on

- Are you using ftp or sftp?
sftp with port 22
aa now i tryed yet an other app on my phone and that one worked (this is the 5th one or the 6th lol )
