Title: Please help me set up my DNS-323 as ftp server behind the 655 router
Post by: cailia on January 15, 2010, 03:34:26 PM

Hi,

I've been reading posts and manuals until my eyes started to bleed. I might as well be reading the Dead Sea Scrolls in ancient script.

In our office we have a DNS-323 storage drive that is accesses by four computers. We used to be able to access it via ftp, but there was a power surge that fried the unit and we subsequently replaced it with a new one.

Now we can't access by ftp.

I tried the settings on the 323, but after reading all these posts, I was led to believe it is a router problem. However, I don't see any changes at all on the router config panel.

All I want is to be able to access these files by ftp -- just like it says on the box. I even bought the setup that was used as an example on the box so it would be easy. But it's not.

Please help.

You have to open FTP in the port forwarding section of the router. FTP is port 20 or 21 (not sure). A regular FTP client will show you the default ports however.
