Making NAS from Dreambox

    • Making NAS from Dreambox

      Hi All!

      I got a need to make NAS in my home network (want to move to SSD on laptops) and wanted to buy somethng like Linksys NAS200, but then I thought that its not much better than HDD in Dreambox (1x2.5" HDD is enough for NAS for me)... The only thing I want to know, is there any things that can help me to make restrictions to file access? The system will have entrance to outer space via DynDNS so would like to have user/password access at least.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks in advance!

      P.S. Sorry for English)

      qnap is the best nas for this. but this is my opinion.

      if u have an internal hdd in ur dreambox u can forward the ftp port 21 and access it via ftp from outside. i dont know what u wanna do?

      greetz to ukraine and we hope klitschko will win at saturday :)

      Thanks, oZxS!

      Regarding the qnap, like with the Linksys, just dont want to buy yet another device. I'm out of power outlets))

      The FTP is good, but what if I will leave file system unsecured? I mean, won't there be any way to simply get to files through myhosname.dyndns.com/hdd/... or smth like that? I want a mounted drive inside my network, and it would be great if outside it would be able to be mounted too. In worth case I will use FTP from outside.

      Even inside my home network, can I set user permissions on folders or entire hard drive?

      Klitschko is the best!) He will win or he will win!)))

      u can change the default password of your dmm to make it secure.

      only connect via telnet and type in passwd. u can forward this port 21 to 44444 or something like this. u dont have to use port 21. ur router only must know that if u connect to port 44444 that he has to route it to port 21 to your dreambox.

      in your ftpclient u only put in your dns, user (root) and passwort.

    • Hi,

      please never use FTP or Telnet outside of your network. It is very simple to read the connection details including you username und password. All the dream boxes support the SSH protocol. This is a secure protocol who allows file transfer and connection to the bash to configure the box.

      You have to set up a password via telnet, after this you are able to connect to your box per SSH with the same password. The port of the SSH protocol is default 22. If you are using windows to connect to the box you have to install a software to connect to a SSH host. Putty is one of my favorite clients on windows. If you are using SSH the connection is very secure. This protokoll also allows you to create a tunnel to your dream to get all the network stuff you want to have.

      Cheers
