Host feature for SMB and FTP not working properly? OS 6.6.0

Host feature for SMB and FTP not working properly? OS 6.6.0

And yet another problem/question.

 

On both of my NAS 204 the feature "Hosts" for shared folders appears to be not working at all (form SMB and FTP - did not check other protocols)

 

FOR SMB - when I set a IP address and click OK everything lookes normal, but when in main settings window I click Apply (Zastosuj in my language version, right button at the bottom), settings window skipes to Security tab (first one) and when I come back to Hosts tab, the hosts list is empty. Tried several times with many shared folders - OS version issue ?

 

FOR FTP - I can normally set hosts, everythong is correct. When I'm logging in using WinSCP with credentials that applies to that folder from the computer listed in hosts I can normally view/edit files. But when I do it from another computer (not listed on the hosts list) with the same credentials, I can still view/edit data. If I understand correctly, the hosts feature should prevent such action. It is also possible that I don't understand it properly.

 

EDIT: for clarification about FTP: user have to log (no anonymous allowed), but even when I've changed to anonymous and set a host other than my computer and I logged from my computer, I was still able to view/edit/delete etc.

Hi BalROCK,

 

I will check if I can replicate this. Do you have some screen shots that I can compare it to?

I will be difficult to show entire problem on one screenshot. But I can try, just tell me which behavior you want to see on a screenshot 🙂

Hi BalROCK,

 

Thanks for the screen shot. By the way, have you tried clearing the cache?

 

I just came back to the office so I will try and check if I can simulate your issue.

 

Also, can you please try and send your logs to us.

 

How do I send all logs to ReadyNAS Community moderators?
