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.

(sorry for responding to my own forum but i felt it would be better as i got progress now)
what you stated about passive mode and my phone made me try with yet an other client on the windows phone and got abit further. now it states error when its about to show the list i suppose it is the folderlist if i can read it correcly it states just like it is a slow network? (100/100 fiberline with lan cable all the way) .
this is the log (i have taken away the personal stuff like username and pass)

FTP uses two connections. The main one on port 21 is for commands. The second one is for transferring data. It looks like the second one is failing. The response to the PASV command indicates that the client should attempt to connect to port 50027 at IP address 31.208.x.x (Note: This is your public IP address, which you should not be sharing with us.). Did you remove the port forwarding rule for 50000-50050? You still need it if you want passive mode FTP to work.
Note, you can, if you want, use active mode FTP. It will work without the port forwarding rule for 50000-50050.
But I'll caution you again that you really should use SFTP.

Try messaging one of the moderators (ElaineM, DexterJB). Maybe they can edit the post.

yes now everything works on the pc (there is a protocall missmatch on the phones but that does not matter as the linkstations is quite old i kind of think i will not get the newest protocall
but using the last ports made everything works and just to make sure i have changed all password on the nas for added security. thank you for the help would given up a long time without it :)
