FTP Settings
Hi all I'm really struggling with trying to set up my FTP settings for my READYNAS NV+ v2. The settings on the ReadyNAS are:Enable FTP Port: 21 Authentication Mode: User Allow Upload Resumes:...
(a) the NAS is set up on port 21 and you are forwarding to 51000. That's the first mistake.
(b) You haven't forwarded the passive ports - that's the second mistake.
Personally I use a non-standard port like 51000 instead of 21. If you want to do that then
(1) forward 51000 - 51004 in the router to 51000 to 51004 in the NAS
(2)Configure the FTP service to use 51000 for the main port, and 51001 to 51004 for the passive ports
(3) You don't need masquerading if you use filezilla, so leave that disabled.
(4) create an entry in filezilla's site manager for the NAS
-Use the DDNS hostname from dyndns.org and set the port to 51000
-protocol is ftp
-encryption is require explicit FTP over TLS
-logon type is normal
-user/password is your NAS account (can be admin)
(5) you could also go to the transfer tab, and limit the number of connections to 2 (4 will work, but generally I use 2).
(6) Choose "settings" from the edit menu in the filezilla toolbar. Choose "Passive mode" under connection->FTP. Check the option "use the server's IP address instead".
That should work.
