Hi -
I am glad this worked. I completely understand your concern about security. I am not sure why encryption has to be disabled, but so be it. I think the issue is either due to firmware or simply the lack of robust software. If security is a concern I would NOT use the ReadyNAS Remote client since encryption has to be disabled. Instead I would do the following.
1. I would use backup software that supports encryption when writing to the ReadyNAS. I personally use Memeo which does support encryption.
2. In regards to accessing the data I would NOT use Netgear's embedded FTP server since it does not support SFTP. Their suggestion is to modify the listening port to something other than the default, which does nothing for security. Instead I would use HTTPS, which the ReadyNAS DOES support natively and create your own SSL key. That way if you need to access your data from out on the Internet the channel will be encrypted.
Hope this helps.
