I've had it working for a while at home with FTP, but there's also support for some other protocols.
My end goal is to be able to connect to my GoFlex Home using Kodi when I'm not home. I didn't think the iptables service was active by default and thought I'd take that when I had the other parts working, so that might have been the reason FTP/FTPS didn't work. I think there was something wrong with the commenting function earlier so I try again and now with more information.
Sorry if you get some duplicate comments now. Restart the vsftpd service with the command /sbin/service vsftpd restart Then Esc ZZ (don't forget capital ZZ) to save and exit vi editor. This forces the vsftp service to use strong encryption. I should mention upfront that the vi text editor can be tricky, check here for tips on using vi if you get stuck.Įdit the vsftp config file with the command vi /etc/vsftpd/nf then use the cursor keys to move to the end of the file, press I to enter insert mode and add a line Then modify the FTP server (vsftpd) configuration file.

SFTP works in nearly all FTP clients, like Filezilla, WinSCP but Windows has no built in mechanism for establishing an SFTP connection at least until quite recently in Windows 10.įirst connect with SSH and become root user. Where myusername is your actual GoFlex Home account username and AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD needs to be replaced with the 16-digit product key which you can find on a label on the base of your GoFlex Home. Myusername_hipserv2_seagateplug_AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD The only trick for SFTP is that the username takes the form Though its worth pointing out that to follow the solution below you have to go through establishing a Secure Shell so you're nearly there for SFTP and unless there's a good reason why you need FTPS I recommend going with SFTP. But unless you're keeping State secrets on your GoFlex Home it may not matter - you decide.

Goflex Home FTPS uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is even older than TLS 1.0 and suddenly FileZilla, and Android clients refuse to connect.įortunately the fix is relatively simple, though keep in mind that SSL is considered less secure than the newer encryption standards and there's a reason why they are continually improving encryption. You may have noticed websites that now throw up errors or warnings about security certificates as browsers move away from accepting TLS version 1.0 to newer versions.Īnyway, most of the current FTP clients expect strong encryption and won't connect without it. The Security Layer SSL or TLS which is used to encrypt network traffic is evolving and a lot of legacy systems use lower encyption which newer clients won't accept. I didn't notice that FTPS was no longer working until I got a question from someone commenting on this blog. I don't use FTPS myself and prefer SFTP (Google ftps v sftp if you want to know the differences, but basically FTPS is the same File Transfer Protocol as FTP with an encryption layer added over the top).
