Ftp access

Hello, i would like to ask, how i can connect with ftp to my nas102. I have Filezilla. I want also to ask if it is possible to create accounts with ftp and share only the folders i want to the users i want.

Thanks you.

With a static IP, you can connect over the internet using the IP address w/o needing ddns. If its a business account service, you might also be able to use DNS instead of ddns.

I don't see any other benefits (I've used ddns w/o a static address for years with no problems).

There is some information here that might help: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Using-RN202-behind-WNDR-4500v2/m-p/980998#M93406

FileZilla supports ftps, so for increased security you might want to force ftps.

Accounts have nothing to do with protocols. But you can create user accounts and allow those users to only access certain shares. You can also enable FTP on those shares. That has the effect you want.

    Not sure why you need both forwarding rules for port 21, but I am not clear on how IPTV differs from HSI.
    
    But you do need to configure a smaller range of passive ports in the NAS (perhaps 50000-50004), and forward them in your router as well.
    
    And you need to use local NAS accounts, not readycloud.
