Dudes. I would like to set up an FTP. Am I right in thinking I just need to:

Setup a nas to static ip
Port forward port 21 to ip address
Done?

edit: right, it's working over WAN.

2nd question, how safe it this?

port 21 forwarded to a static IP of NAS > FTP to user name and password.

static IP done by allocating MAC address inside of DHCP.

Passive FTP enabled, forward port 21 TCP to your LAN, and you should be golden if you connect to ftp://YOUR-IP . Dyndns.org is a free DNS service or you can just use your WAN IP.

Yeah WD external drives are all junk. They make great hard drives, but terrible enclosures and software.
