FTP access "ECONNREFUSED"
I have setup ftp service on my readynas 102 (latest firmware). I can log in with the created ftp user from the local network using the internal ip and is set to you port 5000 and everything is work...
Re-enable passive ports, and choose a small range for them in the NAS configuration. Perhaps use 50001-50004 for passive.
Then forward 50001-50004 in your router to the NAS.
With some clients you will also need to set the masquerade address on the NAS to be your public IP (e.g., your ddns name). If you need masquerade set, then you will always need to connect via the ddns name - even if you are on the local lan. Otherwise you will see more connection issues.
One reason I recommend the FileZilla client is that it works without the masquerade being set, which makes it easier.
