NAS storage (LACIE D2 Network) protect folders being accessed by anonymous

Hi

Client of mine has got NAS storage (LACIE D2 Network) for a backup purpose at central office.

Private ip address 192.168.0.50 for LACIE D2 Network was mapped to a public ip address for the router which is 23x.45.5x.7x

The remote PC (at remote location) uses Free SynBack to do a backup via FTP (username and password and public ip address 23x.45.5x.7x used) option to the LACIE D2 Network ( at central location).

I do not have any concern about the backup because it is working fine without any problem.

But when I type in a browser ftp:// 23x.45.5x.7x,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I can access all folders and files ,,,,,means any one can access those files and folders.

How can I protect those files , because I could not find an option through NAS storage configuration to protect that from being accessed by anonymous ??


Thanks

So you can access the NAS FTP address with or without a user name and password?

Yes

There has to be a setting somewhere in the NAS setup that is messed up. An alternative would be to change the router security settings to only allow access from specific IP addresses.

I do not think this is possible because NAS receives backup from two remote locations with dynamic ip addresses,,,,,But I have to try that.

When I accessed the it by using http://192.168.0.50,,,,,I tried to find an option for a password but I could not locate it.

I have not installed that , it was there ,,,,I have to check the manual below hopeful I can locate that
