FTP access/configurations how-to..
How do you correctly setup a ReadyNAS Duo (RND2110) for FTP usage. I don't seem to get it to work, even tho i worked in the past with FTP on my PC, just don't seem to beable to get it to work on my NA...
On the PC side I like the FileZilla client.
Here's my setup:
On the Duo, under "standard file protocols"
-check box for FTP is checked
-a non-standard port was chosen - xxxx
-authentication mode is user
-upload resume is enabled
-passive ports are set to xxxx+1 to xxxx+5
-masquerade as is set to the Duo host name.
Note my duo uses the user security model.
for each share on the Duo,
-ftp default access is set to read/write
-all other boxes left alone.
On the router, TCP ports xxxx to xxxx+5 are forwarded to the Duo
ddns is active, so I can use a uri to reach the router.
In FileZilla's site manager
(general tab)
-host is to the ddns uri
-port is set to xxxx
-protocol is set to ftp
-encryption is set to require explicit FTP over TLS
-Logon type is normal
-user password set to my NAS credentials
(transfer settings tab)
-transfer mode is default.
This works for on my home network and over the internet (FileZilla automatically handles the masquerade issue).
Note that it would also connect if encryption were set to off, however, I don't do that.
