Remote and Local FTP access?
Hi guys, Have a small issue that I thought someone might be able to help me with. I am running an FTP service using the settings below on my Ultra 6 and it has been working like a charm for remo...
Changed the masquerade as to my hostname, so now i can reach it on the public IP from outside and the local IP on my LAN.
Thought the masquerade had to be my public ip, ut this seems to be working fine.
@scottdr - you should use the following settings
Port: 21 (or whatever you might prefer, but 21 is default for FTP)
Authentication mode: User (if you want some security, don't forget to create the users)
Alow Upload Resume: Enabled (if you want people to be able to resume uploads of larger files that might fail along the way)
Passive ports: This should be a range - I personally use 5000 - 5020, but i don't think that's highly important, just make sure you choose something in the high range tha's not already in use.
Masquerade as: could be your public ip (if it's static), your dyndns or your hostname (the name of your nas on the local network) as you can see from my previous post.
After creating these setting make sure you NAT the ftp ports (20 and 21) AND! your passive range to the ReadyNAS' internal IP.
When this is done make sure you enable FTP access to the shares you want - This is done under shares in the ReadyNAS GUI.
This ought to work, if not drop me a line... Know how frustrating these things can be sometimes :-)w
