I believe not, but I agree it would be useful.
Ah thankyou, I will close the request for now although I haven't been able to set my clients up correctly, I am just going to run FileZilla and directly enter the files in now.
Thankyou Stephen.B, sotrack and Hopchen for your help.
Hi stuartmp
1. you don't need port forwarding for UDP protocol
2. you don't need forward port 20. Port 21 is enough
3. NAS FTP settings: put passive ports 32768 - 33768. 65535 is not correct value for router passive port range.
4. Router: put passive port range 32768 - 33768 instead of 11000 - 12000.
Just as an additional note.
You should select the mount of passive ports, based on how many connections you expect at a given time. One passive port per connection. So if 10 people need to connect at the same time, then use 10 passive ports. If it is only you using it, then one passive port is enough - as sotrack explained.
