Connect with Ipad on a SFTP share.

[JDZ01]

Hi all,

when I connect with (S)FTP programms on my Ipad to my FVDW-NWS2-Nas, I can succesfully login, I see my shares opened for the specific user, I can select subdirectories... but I cannot download (or edit) files. Even if these files has rwxrwxrwx permissions. I always get the message 'Missing user rights'.
I can attach these files nicely with Filezilla on my PC.

On my Ipad I use 2 sftp apps, FTP Client Pro and FtpOnConnect. Both give me no access to the files.

Very strange: I cán rename the files on the nas with these Ipad SFTP programms...

Any suggetions here for what is wrong?

TIA

Hi JDZ01,

Sometimes SFTP server requires special settings for some SFTP clients.

Currently, for the common clients I already added them but maybe some other ones have to be added.

Then, I need that you post your FTP LOG.
So close all FTP connection and clear the FTP log and then try to get SFTP from your IPAD

After trying to download a file with your two SFTP client, export the log and send it by pm if you think that it contains some private data

Issue solved

Seems that these sftp clients require that the chmod command is available (whereas it is disabled by default in the firmware) to allow download files.

That is a stupid behaviour but it can fix by creating an additional settings file with these lines

Code: Select all

<Global>
   # SITE CHMOD by default
   <Limit SITE_CHMOD SITE_CHGRP >
     AllowAll
   </Limit>
</Global>

and select the filename in the FTP setup menu.

Note : with this fix, chmod command will be also available for FTP servers and FTPES
