Pandemic Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Sorry for the generic title. Is it possible to create individual secure shares that someone would be able to access via FTP? I'm just considering upgrading my internet and allowing people to do off site backups to my unraid server. Likewise, I may want to allow people to remotely download some content from a share. Possible? Recommended? already done? Link to comment
barakthecat Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm using the Crashplan Docker container to do this. Link to comment

Pandemic Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 not sure the best way to do it but maybe put a web server in front of it that allows log in? Link to comment
archedraft Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes, it is possible. The only way I would do it is through a VPN (and this is how I do it myself). Just give the users access to your VPN server so that they can use the share. If you open up your server to the internet (like via FTP) bad things tend to happen. Link to comment
Pandemic Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 do you mean create a VPN using unraid? Link to comment
archedraft Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I believe you can, there is an openvpn plugin that should do the trick. I personally use a pfSense network system but that is probably over kill if you are only using it for a vpn server. Link to comment
Pandemic Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I used smoothwall for a while but don't have it active anymore. Very secure but very picky. Anyway, will look into the openvpn option. Link to comment
mygoogoo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I used smoothwall for a while but don't have it active anymore. Very secure but very picky. Anyway, will look into the openvpn option. Try Smoothwall 3.1 32bit with Zerina Mod (OpenVPN). I've used and installed Smoothwall firewall on over 200 boxes since version 2.0 and it's by far easier to use "out-of-the-box". Never experienced anything picky about it and far easier than Pfsense. Link to comment
