FXP support (toggle of AllowForeignAddress in proftpd)

The best option for you when using SSH is to have a current backup of your data. Worst case scenario a factory default can be attempted. Netgear may deny the software support of the warranty if SSH is the direct cause of the issue, however the hardware warranty will still be supported.

It's been a few years... Still no easy solution for us SSH & Linux disadvantaged users?

Got a ReadyNAS NV+ V1 i'm about to clean out, FXP would be the fast & easy way, hence i poke this ancient thread.

AllowForiegnAddress is already set to "on" in my system (running 4.1.13).

You can confirm this by downloading the configuration zip, and looking at etc\proftp.conf.

You can change it by using a windows editor that preserves linux newline conventions - notepad++ is a free one. Don't use notepad or wordpad. Once changed, update the zip, and restore the configuration.

Note this configuration only works if the ftp port is not 21.

Cant seam to access etc\ so i assume thats one of those things you need SSH or "other means" for. Anyway, if default IS to allow it, then it would seam i should be good to go, since i'm using port 2121. That is craptastic. Means it's my NetGear R6200 that refuses the FXP connection, and i cant seam to change the port on that one... Anyway, different forum for that stuff. Not that anyone ever responds on that one. Thank you for sharing your information.

:roll:
READ MY POST AGAIN. It gives instructions on how to see this from Windows, and how to change the conf file from Windows.

(a) download the configuration zip from frontview
(b) etc\proftpd.conf is in the zip file
(c) you can change it with notepad++ and put it back into the zip
(d) then upload the configuration zip from frontview.

What firmware are you running btw?

Also, is there some reason why a Frontview FTP backup job won't do what you need?

Probably not. I just didn't really see any reason for bothering with it, my setup is near bog standard, with a LED mod and the transmission mod installed. If you say it's set to on, and should work, then it's set to on, and works. The issue is to be found on the other end, and it's, as it turns out, harder to get support for the R6200 router, then it is to get it for the ReadyNAS NV+.
You've been very helpful, i got all the answers i needed in a single line, the rest is perhaps useful some other day, but at this point i don't really see any reason to try and figure out what to do and where to do it. At this point it seams likely your referring to some backup feature in Frontview that generates a zip, i was looking at the file areas, and found jack all. Anyway, the answer has been given, i went onwards from there, and got the dreaded "no help to be had here" message from NetGears live chat support, which means i'm simply pulling the USB storage of the R6200, and hooking it to the HPX310 instead, and ignore the R6200 from here on out. It's not worth the headache.

The config backup/restore is in frontview. Click on "system" on the right, and you will see "config backup".

Your right. On both accounts. So, as i already figured out, the issue is on the R6200 end, and there was no help to be had from the support.
