FTP permission, VPN access. Duo
I have a VPN running on my Macs between home and work.
I would like to access my Duo V1 at work via the tunnel from home. I can't access at the moment by connection to it's local IP. But I can if I've mounted it on the work mac via ftp, although it is read only. Also the access from the work Mac local to the duo is read only.
Is there a way I can access the drive direct from my tunnel, or change the permissions so that I can access it via the mac?
I've set all the portforwarding stuff on my router.
I know I can use Readynas Remote but the tunnel is faster and also I'd just prefer to use it.
Any ideas appreciated.

- Peter,
You shouldn't need to forward any ports if you have a VPN connection to your home network. Click on finder then press open-apple + k (or from the top left of the screen click the go, then at the bottom click "connect to server". On the bar type "afp://home_ip_address_of_readyNAS" then press enter and you should be able to mount the drive remotely. - After some months messing around I still can't get into my ReadyNas through my VPN Tunnel. I've tried everything I could find on Google and nothing works. Have now fitted a used G4 Xserve which does the job (also you can set up a RAID on the spare discs). I did try and use OpenVpn on the ReadyNas but lost the will to live. Just me probably, I can do anything on Macs but anything else gives me a headache. At least that's what I tell PC users who ask me to mend them.
One workaround is to create a disc image on a ReadyNas share and mount it on the Server Mac (use the login items so it mounts at startup), You can now access the mounted disc image via the tunnel. Put any files you want to access in there.
Shame I couldn't VPN into the ReadyNas, as otherwise it's a fine piece of gear.
