Hi matpic,

Do you have still a SSH access ? (with Putty)

If yes, I can help you to restore it.

thanks for the quick reply.I solved this. the problem was that I forgot that the name was admin-nas and not admin anymore ;)

can I please have a little help for another thing?

can you tell me how to get remote access to the nas from an Imac and from an android smartphone.
I never used the remote access but now I need it. and I'm a noob :-D
the only things I've already done are upgrading the firmware to 14 and changing the root password for remote access
thanks

Ok,

The easiest to get a remote access, is to use the webdav feature.

To do it, you must :
- enable the wanted share in the webdav menu : then the login are the same than those set for samba server.
- install a webdav client for android on your smartphone
- if you don't want to use a secure access, open the port 80 on your ISP router box.
- if you want to use a secure access, you must enable "Web Server over TLS/SSL protocol (HTTPS)" option in the setup menu and then you need to open the port 443.

So to set an access in the webdav client on your smartphone, you must use this url

Code: Select all

 with port 80,
http://yourDDNS/sharename
or with port 443,
https://yourDDNS/sharename

where sharename is the name of selected shares (with the webdav menu)
Note : I assume that you have set a DDNS from a DDNS provider or if you have a fixed WAN IP, you can use directly your WAN IP instead of a DDNS.
Note2 : if you have a fixed WAN IP when you create the TLS/SSL certificat for the HTTPS server in the setup menu, you would use this WAN IP as domain name (instead of the DDNS) to avoid useless warnings when you will try to get access.

Note3 : you can also try to get a FTP access but it is less easy because you have to do several settings on your ISP router.

to sum up.. is it possible to start a transmission torrent download from remote?

[Jocko]

Yes, you can ;)

Just open the port 9091...and use as url http://yourDDNS:9091 or http://yourWANIP:9091.

but you can use also this way : viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1102&p=9372&hilit=proxy#p9372.
In this case you must open the port 80 and use these url http://yourDDNS/transmissioncli or http://yourWANIP/transmissioncli

In addition to what Jocko mentioned as possibilities

You can also use this viewtopic.php?f=3&t=161

A much better web interface that can connect directly to transmission running on your NAS

[matpic]

you're both so great! :hail
thanks

I created an account at dyndns and now I have my host address ending by dyndns.org
then I've put these informations both on the router page where it talks about dynamic dns service (I have netgear dg834g) and on the nas configuration page (in the lan setup sub menu)
is this correct? are there any other steps to do?

[Jocko]

Usually, you only have to do in one place. Your router or DDNS feature of the firmware do both the same thing: to allow the provider to update your public IP with your DDNS . So do it twice is not helpful.

Note: If you keep the firmware feature, the settings for FTP for remote access, HTTPS and WebDAV server will be a little easier because the firmware then knows your DDNS.
