Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.
You are not logged in.
I would like to configure one of these units in a remote site on a remote network.
This is to be used for off-site backups of our files, only to be restored in the event of a disaster, (We have on site backups for the, 'my file is missing, and I didnt do anything' calls)..
My question is this, is the 'Allow SSL/TLS connection only' that is on firmware v9 secure enough for this device, or should I use something like Fun_Plug to enable SSH.
So, for all you experts...
What is the most secure way to host files on this device on a remote network and transfer these files via. schedule to be transfered from local network server to this remote device.
I dont have a tonne of experience with Unix, but if am given some solid direction can figure it all out.
Thanks for your advice.

rsync via ssh should be sufficient, although assuming your remote network is secure in and of itself (firewall has no holes other than a hole for SSH, wireless is WPA or greater, etc). I might also add that a good strategy for enabling SSH (port 22) forwarding in your router is to set the 'external port' to something random like 5555 and then the internal to 22 so when you connect remotely you'll use 5555 in your rsync client but rysnch daemon via SSH sees it as 22 and has no problem. I'm sure there are other ideas out there, but this is as simple and quick as I could think of.
