Thanks will try and find a deal on those and see how it works out.
the reds or RE drives would be ideal..
I was just reading about certain drives only last so long or are made for specific things.
Need? No.
You should be able to use any drive of your choosing (assuming proper sata interface, etc...)
Yes I may be a little thick headed but as far as drives for the media server do I need to use WD Red hard drives?
Guess its time for more reading then. Zyxel nsa325 came in today.
you will want a dedicated server (as opposed to a router) to do *everything* , and then just let the router do the wireless part, +1 to openVPN
Ftps or setup openvpn or pptp with local network access.
Actually Im trying to do a little of everything. I want to back stuff up, access from home and stream at home. I know wireless stream isn't ideal but cant run the wires.
I guess I am confused as to what your still trying to do exactly? Are you trying to stream a video away from home? Access a picture or excel file? Do work remotely?
Sometimes my thought process is too many things at once and I dont always get everything out compared to what I am thinking. Cloud storage isnt really a problem but unless paid for there is the...
1. 10Mbps gives you max. of 1.25MB/s (most likely ~900KB/s average) of transfer speed from LAN(NAS/FTP/whatever) to WAN(your ftp client) and that's a hard limit.
2. it doesn't matter which setup...
Thanks for all the information. I will get local working first and then be back to ask questions. My download/upload speeds are 35/10. I know Ive asked this question before. Does it really matter if...
Also something to think about: your download speed away from home is going to be limited to your max upload speed at home.
port forwarding requires tcp port 20 and 21 for ftp. It's not a secure way to transfer files.
get it working locally first, then work on the internet part - but again, I would not recommend using FTP over the internet - anyone could read/write files, and even modify existing files and inject...
Understanding a little better. Yes I have 2 harddrives connected to my router. I do not have a NAS at the moment but looking at getting one. I am now having problems acessing local. It pulls up the...
FTP is insecure, i.e. your username and password are sent unencrypted over the internet - SFTP fixes that issue
where is the FTP server, is it the router itself with a hard drive attached, or some...
Yes 2 problems.
More stuff is available that I thought I gave access too.
Filezilla connects and I see my files but disconnects.
No reason why I tried this format as thats what I needed to do....
I would look at alternate setups. Something like Dropbox, skydrive, or Logmein Free.
