Remote backup to my NAS from my family
Dear all, I've just installed a Readynas Ultra 2 at home, which isn't my first attempt to create a safe backup for mine and my family's photos and documents, but I hope it will be a successful one...
Ok, now it's time for an update - and a new problem. :)
Thank you all for your suggestions, it seems that FTP over TLS is the way to go for me.
I have set up the FTP server, created shares and user accounts etc. With FileZilla, I can connect and transfer files over Explicit TLS both from home and from my work computer. A friend however had to switch from FileZilla to WinSCP before he could get access, we don't know why. But that's not the main problem.
I've bought the superb backup program SyncBackSE, and have managed to setup a profile which can upload files to the chosen account. However, I do have some type of problem, either with the ReadyNAS or SyncBackSE.
Via TeamViewer, I installed SyncBackSE at my sister's computer, installed the profile, and set it up with test folders. It can connect to the server just fine, but it is not allowed to create folders or files on the server, even though the user has read/write privileges on the share. I tried all different types of FTP/S access settings for the share, but no luck! However; the very same profile didn't have any problems when running from my work computer, the test files were copied just fine!
So, the SyncBackSE profile (with identical login credentials) works from my work computer, but not from my sister (in the neighboring country). I tried transmission over non-encrypted channels, but no cigar. The user name is "annanicke" and the share name is "backup-annanicke", so there should be no conflict there?
The error log from SyncBackSE indicates that it is not allowed to transfer the encryption key (nor files):
When the profile attempts to create a folder on the server, here's the result (edited for language etc.):
So it tries to create a directory, but is denied. Then the transfer of course fails because it cannot access the directory.
But why is it denied? The same profile, with the same ftp login credentials, works on another computer?
What could be wrong?
Thank you once again, Erik
