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. 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?). Make sure that the IIS and FTP services are installed on the Windows instance on which you want to build an FTP site. Step 1: Add Internet Information Services (IIS) and FTP server roles. Unknown how secure this UI is, in other words are the login information sent as plain text. The instance runs Windows Server 2008 or later. 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.
