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?

Yes, if people will be using EPSV.

wha...

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.

enable passive mode

yeah, just figured it out thanks. now wondering about security from port scanners?

strong passwords and an FTP server worth a shit security-wise and you're fine.

cheers. ftp service is from wd mybook. all working fine on my lan, now getting my head around wan...

yep, i'm lost.

if i'm off my lan how do i connect to the nas over the internet?

i'm i going to need some dns service for this?

Yeah probably... or I think at least a static IP.

that's the bit i don't understand. is it the IP of the router on port 8080?

got my wan ip and it logs into the ftp but i get a port error, lost now.

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.

now wondering if my isp is blocking port 21. anyway to find out?

router-
static IP to nas set via mac address
PF set to static IP on port 21

NAS-
FTP service on
port 21
IP as above

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

This Qnap is the business so far. packed full of management options and tools.
