General FTP Question

Using the original 1.03 firmware, should I be concern with leaving FTP service port 21 expose to the internet? Using strong passwords, am I still vulnerable to any brute force break-ins?

Re: General FTP Question

there is always a risk. if you want to be safe, turn FTP off.. if you want FTP on, then you would just have to take your chances. doubtful anyone would try to 'hack' you, but hey, kids are kids ... grrr .. kids

Re: General FTP Question

FTP over the Internet is insecure.  Passwords and data are transmitted *unencrypted*.

Does anybody know if one can run ssh and sftp on the devices?  As far as I'm concerned, loging in w/ unencrypted passwords over the Internet is a deal-breaker...

Re: General FTP Question

A ssh daemon (dropbear) comes with fun_plug. You don't really need sftp, you can use scp (or pscp which comes with putty if you're on windows. Examples:

    # scp localfile.ext user@192.168.1.2:/mnt/HD_a2/path/
    # scp user@192.168.1.2:/mnt/HD_a2/path/localfile.ext /var/tmp/
    C:\> pscp localfile.ext user@192.168.1.2:/mnt/HD_a2/path/
    C:\> pscp user@192.168.1.2:/mnt/HD_a2/path/localfile.ext c:\tmp\
