ReadyNas NV+ and iphone 4s
Hi, I have recently bought a readynas NV+ which works well with everything in the hjouse, laptops, ps3 etc. However, i can not get it to pair with the iphone or android phone. Readynas remote just ...
I have the NAS configured to use 5 ports - one control, and 4 passive. All of these are specified in the NAS configuration.
Ideally the passive ports are in the range 49152-65535. You can either assign the control port to that range also (which is what I do), or use the default port 21.
You also need to get a dynamic dns name that will reach your home router (dyndns is one service that can create that). To test the setup, you can use your home router's external (ISP-assigned) address. However, that will change so you will want a name that always works,
Assume for the moment that you are using 49160 for the control port and 49161-49165 for the passive ports. The full port range (49160-49165) needs to be forwarded to the NAS in your router.
the FTP server you configure in ES File Manager has
Server set to the ddns name
Port set to 49160
Mode set to passive
Username to a NAS user name
password to the corresponding password
encoding can remain "click to set"
