How to backup/sync using FTP to ReadyNAS
Hello all, Here is my problem or need so to speak.. Will describe the setup first so we have everything as clear as possible. I've got a RN214 (ReadyNAS OS 6.5.1), with IP 192.168.10.1. I've ...

Just out of curiousity...
Is there any news about progress on fixing this issue??
It would be appreciated when Netgear fixes the FTP Backup option so it actually will connect to this silly little bugger.. :)
To be clear, I don't work for Netgear so I have no idea about what's on their bug list. You might consider opening a support case at my.netgear.com.
Reading through your posts again, I am noticing some inconsistencies in the IP Addresses. The first post has the Humax as 10.168.10.2, the screenshot shows it as 192.168.10.171.
I just did an FTP backup with a remote ReadyNAS (6.6.0) to a ReadyNAS (6.6.1) and it works like a champ. If the source is on a remote ReadyNAS, the "Share" (called "Path" when you go back and edit settings) is just the share name (e.g Documents, not /data/Documents), so maybe that's your problem with the Humax. Try just "disk1".
Hello Sandshark,
Thanks for the suggestion, I do have to try this at home.
Would be great if this is the simple solution :)I'll let you know if there is any luck with that attempt.

When you access the humax server with filezilla (or other ftp clients) what folders are you seeing? That should help you sort out the path.
Hi all,
After some long testing and trying and sad enough failing, I think I've found what causes the issue.
FileZilla and some other FTP-clients I've tried the last couple of days are able to logon to the Humax.
Then show /media as current directory, they try to list the directory but this fails in PASV mode.
Then they switch to ACT mode and succesfully change directory and therefore find directories with stuff..
It seems the FTP-client build in ReadyNAS OS 6.6.1 isn't capable to do that switching to ACT mode.
It finds a silly empty directory and is either amazing fast in connecting and backing up NOTHING from the sub-directories or just pops up that more then annoying error thingy..
I'm going to file a bug report/feature request to Netgear so they can properly look into this and hopefully fix it in a future release of Ready NAS OS.
Thx for trying to figure things out!
