| 1227590 | 2011-08-31 20:40:00 | Not anymore. I got worried about it and just blocked all those ports until I can figure a better method. I'd have to install an ssh server, which from the tutorials looks kind of complicated. I'll think about this; I might not even proceed. SSHD is running by default - at least it is on the version we have at the office. Just try connecting to port 22 using PuTTY from within your internal network, and see if you get a login prompt. If so, log in as "root" with the password you specified for the "admin" user in the web interface. For HTTPS access, there's mention of an SSL version of the FileStation service running on port 5001.

Mind you I've blocked those ports. |

| 1227592 | 2011-09-01 21:33:00 | Hope they've fixed these www.google.com Apparently they've been fixed from release DSM3.0-1337. I have 3.2, so that's been a bit of consolation. |

| 1227594 | 2011-09-02 01:17:00 | I'm really getting nowhere with setting up https etc. generating keys and certificates appears complex or costly (as it probably should be). Port 80 is the normal internet port anyway, so what risk would I run, running my photostation off this? Port 5000 is admin and it has to be logged into by username and password. I am dubious about forwarding this one to the server. I wonder if it would be better just to set up a server with a full fledged linux server os, which, with a bit of work, would do what the synology one does, plus be more easily configurable for what I want (at least I could use nano, I find vi hopeless). |

| 1227595 | 2011-09-02 20:49:00 | I've been trying to get to grips with this and a common statement, in reply to others with a similar dilemma, on other forums is; "if you don't understand this you probably shouldn't be doing it". So maybe I should flag it for now. Thanks Somebody, Fred_fish and nedkelly for trying to give me some understanding. |

| 1227596 | 2011-09-02 23:52:00 | Just another thought. Creating a virtual server on the Synology disk station and running it with say, VM Player. Using Debian and following one of the "How to Forge" tutorials. Finding out the way to make it accept persistent changes etc. Does this sound like an option? It would certainly be more configurable. |

| 1227597 | 2011-09-03 02:01:00 | Sounds like hard work ... To clarify, do you just want a secure way for yourself or for other people to connect to your diskstation? If it's just yourself or to admin the box, an SSH tunnel is what you want. You can have the SSH server running on any machine on your LAN (OpenSSH is also available for Windows), it need not be on the diskstation itself. |
