Hi i need a backup nas. Its located on another network and therefor i need it to connect to another server using ftp and maby p2p (depends on more things)

Can anyone verify if DNS-320 does have a ftp client?

All the DNS-320 we have have a built in FTP SERVER.

When you say another network do you mean another physical network that you need to access over the internet?  If that is the case you will need to ensure that the routers and/or firewalls at both ends are setup to allow that.

Its not a server, but client i need.
I need the server to connect to my home server and download all that is on it.
Does dns-320 have such a feature?
I own a asustor as-604t, but need some very cheap nas servers to get data from it automatically.
I can only setup a ftp server at my own because ISPs uses public ips, not pricate and the ip isnt static on other servers then my own.

Hi Zlaxhe,
I don't think you will be able to do what you want with the FTP server/ client software in your DNS 320, at least with the stock firmware.  These devices are pretty limited and will generally only work if the other device is a Dlink NAS.  If you use ffp instead of the stock firmware, I am pretty sure it can be done though.  Sorry I don't have better information.  Good luck.

Zlaxhe, let me see if I understand what you are trying to do.  You have an AS-604T that you are using as a server in one location but you have several NAS boxes at different locations that are outside your local network.  If that is the case then you are trying to do what we do on a regular basis between our servers and storage system and our clients NAS boxes in different towns.

To do that we use either RSYNC or some custom scripts that are run by an FTP client that 'talks' to the NAS FTP servers.  Most of the data transfer is from NAS to our storage but does go the other way when we test backup restore.

As far as I know the AS-604T has two FTP clients, FTP Explorer and NET2FTP and it should be relatively easy to write a script that finds the local net facing IP address of the NAS servers, transmit it to your fixed IP address, load it into the FTP client with a list of what to upload and then upload the data.

Hi

The plan is. My home server is a ftp server that is accessable from the internet. I now want some nas servers to connect to my nas and download the content from it automatically. (Like a cronjob).

Asustor has a ftp backup feature that can do a backup from another server to it and it can be scheldued.
