Hi,
I recently purchased a Network-Attached Storage HD enclosure by ADS Tech,
but I am not sure how secure/hackerproof it is. (Assuming, of course, that
it has been correctly configured though it's web interface, all user
accounts have difficult passwords, access rights to specific folders have
been specified, etc., you know, the obvious has been taken care of). I want
to put some data on it that could be shared with some of my friends/family
over internet, as well as business files, which I don't want anybody to even
have a chance to get access to (besides myself).
The NAS kit interfaces through NetBios in Win workgroup environment, for
outside access it has FTP and HTTP. One thing I don't like about the FTP is
that any user who has any kind of FTP access can see all shared folders,
even those that he has no access to (when such folder is clicked, the
"Access denied" box opens). Would be much better in my opinion if a "root
folder" per used could be specified.
Does anybody know how safe it is to put shared data alongside with private
data on that thing?
Somebody might ask: Why would I want to put confidential data on it? Because
of the versatility -- I can access it from any computer, it does not require
any specific computer to be turned on (like in case with USB/FireWire
drives). I can access it from outside through Internet, or take it with me
if necessary.
Thanks in advance!
