![]() Beyond the web, his work has appeared in the print edition of The New York Times (September 9, 2019) and in PCWorld's print magazines, specifically in the August 2013 and July 2013 editions, where his story was on the cover. With over a decade of writing experience in the field of technology, Chris has written for a variety of publications including The New York Times, Reader's Digest, IDG's PCWorld, Digital Trends, and MakeUseOf. Chris has personally written over 2,000 articles that have been read more than one billion times-and that's just here at How-To Geek. This is a good easy to setup and use solution for those who don’t or can’t use a stand alone FTP app on the remote side.Chris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. Those folks will want a more secure path which will entail some more work, as you point out, on their part beyond just unzipping the app and port forwarding one port. The traffic from the computer to the UI, if one is outside their home network is where the security is a potential issue for some. ![]() You can also add HTTP authentication realm to the path for private use, the HTTP user/pass will be sent encrypted in HTTPS (see my webhosting mods, links below->how to secure wdmycloud or Google). If you’re concerned about security especially the plain text credential, switch to TLS(preferred)/SSL, in simpler terms, HTTPS/443 instead of HTTP/80. No point trying to enable FTPS on M圜loud and using this on the app if you’re only connecting to internal M圜loud via this app. This is TLS/SSL Explicit Encryption (FTPS), by default not enabled on M圜loud’s vsftpd. Update 2: Removing the Monsta FTP program/UI should be as simple as just deleting the /var/Note: Take care when deleting the /var/www/htdocs/ftp folder, make sure to remove ONLY the ftp folder and no others within the /var/www/htdocs/ directory. There is an option on the Monsta FTP UI to “Connect using SSL (if available)” but unknown how this is setup (port forward HTTPS or SSH?). Unknown how secure this UI is, in other words are the login information sent as plain text. ![]() One word of note when accessing remotely, use the local network name or IP address for the My Cloud in the Monsta FTP UI’s FTP Host field. Update 1: Once port forwarding (http port 80) was setup and configured within the router/gateway to forward http port 80 to the My Cloud, I was able to remotely access the Monsta FTP UI at my public IP address (for example ). Then click the Login button and you should be logged into your My Cloud and can use the Monsta FTP UI page to upload files to your My Cloud. Then use your My Cloud User name and password in the Username and Password fields. On the Monsta FTP UI page, for the “FTP Host” enter your My Cloud name or IP address.Once the file has finished unzipping access the Monsta UI on your My Cloud by using your web browser and going to:.Next, type: unzip monsta_ftp_v1.6.4_install.zip.In the /var/www/htdocs/ftp folder type:.In the /var/www/htdocs/ folder type: mkdir ftp.Once logged into the My Cloud via SSH, type: cd /var/www/htdocs/.Note: If you don’t know how to use SSH or even basic Linux commands please perform a Google search to learn how to use SSH and enter basic Linux commands. Next, using SSH ( Putty is a popular SSH terminal program) log into the My Cloud.Next, ensure SSH is on by activating it on the WD My Cloud Dashboard > Settings > Network > Network Services > SSH = On.Make sure to enable FTP in the WD My Cloud Dashboard > Settings > Network > Network Services > FTP Access = On.Note: Use the following at your own risk! It is really simple to setup and integration is automatic. Could you give us some hints or a small howto? ![]() ![]() I’m very interested in this but don’t know how to integrate in the My Cloud. ![]()
