looking for NAS with sftp

[scorpio05678]

Hi

I am looking for a NAS storage (about 1-2 TB) but only want to buy if it has secure FTP access built in or i can install some software (i use openssh for other purposes) to make it secure.

does any one has any suggestions/how tos?

Thanks

Any linux based NAS box will have this. Consider the Synology DS209+ for example with two 1TB drives, or two 2TB drives in RAID 1 for redundancy.

£250 for just a caddy from Novatech

and £133.98 (2@66.99) for 2TB samsung HDD again from Novatech


£383.98 is bit pricey for me, something bit cheaper would be nice.

It's not just a caddy, it's a fully fledged network attached storage device, running an independent Operating System, so you can do RAID, offload your downloads to it, and many many more things.

100% correct,

but i still have to put it in the drives (HDD) my self

MyBook World Edition is perhaps the cheapest NAS your going to find with HDD included, you can buy both 1TB and 2TB models. But TBH i would not recommend them, i had one for a while. It was slow, features were lacking and unless your confident in hacking the box and (void the warrenty) and configuring sftp yourself, here your probably better off spending a bit more and getting a more competent (true) NAS box like the Synology i linked earlier in this thread.

FYI the myBook is now used to prop a door open.
