Anonymous FTP

[Rafe]

Hi

I am experiencing the exact same problem as jfass.

I can download files from the DiskStation to my remote machine but I can't upload. I get the error message: 550 Permission Denied

I have done the following:

Enabled FTP service
Created FTP folder and set up as a share
Set Read/Write privileges for the 'Anonymous FTP/WebDav' (System Internal User) on the newly created FTP folder
In Control Panel>FTP>Security Settings tab, the 'Enable Anonymous FTP' has been ticked
In Control Panel>FTP>Security Settings tab, the 'Change Anonymous root' has been ticked and have set the folder to FTP (the share I created earlier)

Can anyone help? I really need to able able to upload files to the DiskStation from the remote computer.

This post saved me a lot of time attempting to get Write access working with anonymous FTP and a DS212J - a late thank you

This problem still exists in DSM 4.0.
Even if the problem can not be fixed, the Help text surely can. It is very bare - see below:

====================================
Change Anonymous root

Enable this function to change anonymous FTP user's login directory. Select the shared folder from the drop-down menu.
====================================

and the onscreen help under Control Panel / FTP / Security settings fails to mention this and it would be so easy. Something like:

Warning: Write Access is disabled for anonymous users when "Change Anonymous Root" is selected.

would really help.

Hi all,

Not sure if I'm doing something stupid here, but I've got an issue trying to access a file over FTP using the anonymous user.

- I've clicked 'Enable Anonymous FTP'
- I've changed anonymous root to the 'public' folder.
- I've gone into Shared Folder -> Selected 'public' foler -> Privileges Setup -> Changed to system internal user -> Clicked Read Only for Anonymous FTP -> Clicked OK.

If I use the command-line FTP tool in Windows, I login to the server ok, and then enter the username as anonymous, at which point it says I should enter an e-mail as a password (fine). I then try to download one of the files in the public folder, but it says :

200 PORT command successful
550 index.cgi: Permission Denied

Any ideas where I should look to resolve this?

Thanks,
Nick

I'm getting this too.. I'm working fine on internal LAN.. and have portforwarded 20/21 so that it sees the FTP server.. but am getting 550 access denied.

Is this a bug?

[MrGlass]

OK.. I have it partially working..

Turns out even though I had port forwarding on.. the fact that the router itself was listenting on port21 meant that it wasn't forwarding to the NAS box.

Now it forwards.. but I can't get the passive TLS working

You probably need to forward port 989-990 for TLS and probably open up the passive port range.

I had the same problem with my DS212+ (DSM 4.0.2219)

I have solved this problem using the following (already state in this thread)

Create a shared folder with anonyous rights (and for me admin rights for both users as groups)
Enable FTP
in security tab only tick Enable Anonymous FTP

if you know login in with anonymous FTP you see the following:

Code: Select all

H:\>ftp NAS_SERVER
Connected to NAS_SERVER.
220 WinGate Engine FTP Gateway ready
User (NAS_SERVER:(none)): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your email address as password.
Password:
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'file list'.

ftp> cd FTP_folder
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'file list'.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> mkdir MAdD2
257 "MAdD2" directory created.
ftp> cd MAdD2
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> bin

ftp> mput *.exe
200 PORT command successful.

How can we create a support case for this?
