FTP setup
Whist I am pondering a full NAS upgrade a little issue has come up that is bugging me.
Here's what I am trying to achieve. I have a couple of IP cams on my home network. I have them set up to respo...
The problem with many embedded ftp clients is that they want to upload to the ftp root - this is where the ReadyNas does not allow to upload date, instead the client has first to choose a shared folder ... unless your cameras can be configured to upload to a certain path, there won't be much luck.
Are the cameras using the same account/passwords as you were using with FileZilla?
Also, are they using straight FTP? Or are they using SFTP or FTPS?
Regarding the FTP. account, that’s why I created a fresh one on the NAS, as a clean slate.
I populate that account into either FileZilla or Windows depending how I’m connecting, and it’s all fine. Put the same account info into the cam config, no go. As far as I can see it’s just regular FTP across the board, but I’ll double check in case there were options I overlooked, though I can’t recall any other settings/options right now.
