I recently purchased one of these boxes and loaded a WD250 in it.
After a little difficulty I was able to get it found on my LAN.

But for some reason, I (nor anyone else) can access the box thru FTP.
Get the login screen but it times out.

My ISP (Comcast) says that there are no blocking issues.

Is it the box or FTP?

did you try active FTP ?

**Dave_M** · September 10th 06, 04:01 PM posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage

Uhh, no. All I have used is what is on the NAS box.

It was suggested that I run a FTP client on one of my machines and map
to the NAS box, but that is not what I bought this box for, so that I
could access and share files without having to run computers 24/7.

Can an FTP client be loaded and run on the Argosy box? Or does it just
have a file system with no real OS?

What is "active FTP?"

**Quest** · September 11th 06, 03:48 AM posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage

allmost all ftp clients can use the passive or the active mode.
most ftp clients use the passive mode as default.
this site explains the differences:
http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html

if you don't want to read all the explanations, here a short version:
if your ftp server has a private ip address, passive ftp does not
work, unless your ftp server is smart enough to tell the client the
public ip.

Have two questions I couldn't find answers for, I ask for help:

1) will I loose settings after firmware upgrade?
2) will I loose any data from HD after fw upgrade?

Thanks!

No, settings and data remain. I upgraded to the lastest frimware and
my drive has been online for several days when before it would die
within a day or so. :nod:

I have followed your good news and upgraded from latest tritton to
newest argosy... now I have corrupted files and folders :retard:

my advice: stay with tritton fw

**roadkill** · November 6th 06, 11:58 AM posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage

When I upgraded to the latest the scan did find a bunch of bad files
the first time I ran it. There have been no more since. I beleive
that the latest firmware is better at finding bad files and
preventing more from getting corrupted. So far all the problems I was
having with the drive crashing are gone!
