FTP Folder Names Problem
I can connect to the FTP just fine on my ReadyNAS 204 but the folders are shown with long names full of Unix information. For example a folder that should show up as just "FTP" instead shows up as... (owner id and name replaced) "users;UNIX.mode=0770;UNIX.owner=xxxxx;UNIX.ownername=xxx; FTP" If I try to enter the folder I get the following in the logs... Status: Retrieving directory listing of "/users;UNIX.mode=0770;UNIX.owner=xxxxx;UNIX.ownername=xxx; FTP"... Command: CWD users;UNIX.mode=0770;UNIX.owner=xxxxx;UNIX.ownername=xxx; FTP Response: 550 users;UNIX.mode=0770;UNIX.owner=xxxxx;UNIX.ownername=xxx; FTP: No such file or directory Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing It's trying to access with the full wrong folder name. If I manually try to enter with the correct name "FTP" it works fine. I have the same issue on any client.Solved4.6KViews0likes17CommentsRN102 remote FTP from webserver, can't connect
Using OS 6.5 I try to connect to a remote webserver via Backup remote FTP. Same configuration works with Filezilla and TLS. The Ready NAS gives an error message when I test the connection. Connection not possible! I'm not shure if OS6.5 does support TLS connections with self signed signatures? The destination is a local share with full and anonmous access for everybody. Any hints are welcome.3.9KViews0likes1Comment
Is FrontView ProFTPd Custom Configuration Broken?
I am running ReadyNAS 6.4.2 and need to do some custom configuration for proftpd, beyond what FrontView permits. The default configuration for proftpd is in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf . This configuration file in turn include multiple conf files from /etc/frontview/proftpd which can be adjusted from FrontView. The /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf includes an instruction not to modify this file directly (presumably because it may change on release and would not be backed up as part of the FrontView configuration). Instead it includes a /etc/frontview/proftpd/proftpd.conf.overrides file where presumably users can override the proftpd configuration without these drawback. So far, fair enough. The problem is that /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf includes /etc/frontview/proftpd/proftpd.conf.overrides as its first line, not its last! So the net effect is that the overrides are overridden by the default rather than overriding the defaults. That is not very useful and can't have been the intention, can it?Solved3.5KViews0likes6CommentsFTP for Clients
I'm trying to setup something a little bit different and am unsure in what direction to create this. What I need is a single SMB share that all of my employees would have access to including all the subfolder. The subfolders of this share is where I'm getting stuck. I need to make it so that there is a subfolder for each one of my company's clients. The subfolders will be accessed with a FTP client but only needs to have access to just their FTP subfolder (like a home folder). Any ideas on how to make this happen would be a big help. Thanks in advanced for the helpSolved2.5KViews0likes3Comments
HUGE security leak in ReadyNAS
I've been using a ReadyNAS 6 Pro for years now and I have always been quite happy with it, but today to my horror I discovered a HUGE security leak in this product. My configuration has the FTP server enabled, for one share, called 'public', which contains files I need other people to have access too. Nothing special. The share has write access too, because I also use it for people to drop stuff off for me, nothing special either. My internet connection isn't fast enough for other people to store large amounts of illegal content. Last two weeks I've been making a backup of my server's full content. The quickest way to do this, is to attache a USB drive, so I don't have to pull all data over the network. An now it turns out that this backup drive, including the full content has been exposed to the whole world! Who knows what has been harvested by 'hackers', bots and criminals! I noticed this because when verifying my files, all kinds of spam files were popping up everywhere. Netgear found it somehow a good idea to share attached USB drives per default with the rest of the world! Help me out here, Netgear, because your support team is hiding behind serial number protected web forms and a maze of links redirecting people to FAQs. I need logs from my NAS to estimate the damag.2.9KViews0likes5CommentsRN102 FTP no longer working since updating to 6.2.5
Just as the subject states, the FTP service on my RN102 no longer works after updating to 6.2.5. I go to System->Settings and under services FTP is disabled. I click on FTP, choose the option to enable it and hit apply. The screen refreshes and FTP is STILL disabled. I used to use FTP without issue before updating. :(Solved3KViews0likes2Comments
