Accessing DNS-323 remotely, starting torrent, etc.
« on: May 25, 2010, 03:23:32 PM »

Hi everyone,

I am able to access my DNS-323 FTP server remotely without issue.  I was wondering if there is a way to access the actualy DNS login portal (the "green page" so to speak, with configuration and applications).  This might be useful for stsrting torrents remotely, for example, or adding users, etc.  Would it be on a particular port I need to forward?  Not sure...

Thanks!

Sure , Just create a port forwarding rule in your routers firewall to forward whatever public port you choose to Private port 80 at the IP address of the DNS-323. Then you can access it at your public IP address and the port you choose in the rule.

I have the opposite problem, I can access my logging page (configuration and applications) but i cant access my files? how did you go about doing that? I do still want to access my logging page as well though.

I find my remote logging a little temperamental, it will log in fine for a few days then all of sudden it will fail to load and i'll have to turn my 323 off and on, have you found that with yours?

I don't think that you can access files using a browser.... Your best bet is FTP.

I SSH into mine from work to transfer files and such if I need them. But as said before if you need your files moved to a different computer, use FTP.

"SSH"? I'd like to be able to transfer files from my home to work but the FTP i set up only seems to log into my NAS' interface and not the folders on the NAS itself. Did I doing something wrong when I set up my FTP?

When you say NAS interface you mean the login screen for the config? If so you have the ports mixed up. Sounds like you are forwarding to port 80 on the NAS when you really want port 21 (default for ftp). So setup your router to forward to your NAS on port 21 and login with ftp://ip:port and it should work fine.

Yes it sounds like a port issue and an application issue.  You need to use an FTP client - ie: Filezilla, WinSCP for the FTP.  Use port 21 and make sure you forward port 21 from your router to the IP of the NAS.

Are you familiar with using ftp from the command line?  As a matter of fact, are you familiar with command line interfaces in general - they don't do anything unless you tell them to, you have to know what commands to issue, in this case DIR should you whatever files are present in the folder.

Is the screen blank or is there a prompt that you have neglected to mention?

It's also possible that you do not have the ftp server correctly configured - ftp is unlike most protocols in that it uses separate control & data connections, and it may be the case that you have established a control connection without a data connection.

My suggestion is that you use ftp from within the LAN and familiarize yourself with the prompts & commands before attempting to use it remotely.
