Bogus,

 

I just checked again. I can connect to the CrashPlan of the NAS from the GUI of the client only if the ui.info port is set to 4243 !! Thus for me it works like that:

My ReadyNAS /var/lib/crashplan/ui.info:

4243,xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx,192.168.0.120

 

My Windows Client: c:\ProgramData\CrashPlan/.ui_info:

4243,xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx,192.168.0.120

You need to leave the ports at 4243 because you aren't tunneling through putty.  I always start with putty myself, so I can access the crashplan logs, etc directly from linux - and then launch the client if there's something there I want to see or change.  So 4200 works for me,

 

Also, I don't think you need to change the IP address on the NAS - 127.0.0.1 (localhost) should work too, and is easier to manage overall (fewer things to touch later if the IP address changes).  Your method does require setting the NAS IP address on the client (and mine requires leaving it alone).

 

jclaracq - if you want edits to the main post, then let me know what they are - I can apply them for you.  

 

Also, you might consider listing both the putty and direct configuration options in the main post, so both are documented.

Sorry my bad.

My Windows Client: c:\ProgramData\CrashPlan/.ui_info:

4243,xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx,192.168.0.123

That is what I have too.

Regarding "the IP address on the NAS - 127.0.0.1 (localhost) should work too"

I doubt it (but don't know for sure), because it might only listen to itself (hence localhost). Chaning it to 0.0.0.0 makes more sense, in particular when using DHCP as the IP address of the ReadyNAS might change.

Stephen can you also attach files to my or the 1st post? These .so files are required for ARM.
