Setup FTP Server on FreeNAS

Logon to your FreeNAS server @ http://your-server-ip-address

• user: admin
• pass: freenas
• click on services
• click on FTP
• put a tick in the ENABLE tick box (top right corner) and click on save and restart at the bottom of the screen.
• Now setup the options as per below images :

Note:

In order for people to upload files to your server from outside your network and make them accessible by you inside your home network, you must set the following two options:

create mask 666

directory mask 000

I read this online somewhere..

Create mask(file) - set value to 111 and the logic is: 777 - 111 = 666 (final file mask)

Directory mask - set value to 000 and the logic is: 777 - 000 = 777 (final directory mask).
