How to access NAS from external network

Hi guys,

Can anyone point me in the right direction? How to I go about setting up my NAS so that it can be accessed securely from an external IP (the internet)?

Also, If I want to be able to access another network device at the same time on the same network is it possible?

How secure is it?

Apologies. It's a noob NAS - off the shelf.

Model is Linksys NAS200.

I'm currently looking into setting up the FTP server.

Thanks for the help guys - I think I have it running now. Just need to make sure all the permissions and user accounts are secure and set

Actually I have another question - Right now when I goto my no-ip address it takes me straight to my router setup page. Is there any way I can disable this and only allow an internal connection if ftp://[email protected] is specified?

Also how do I stream AVI over FTP?

You don't that I'm aware, someone else may correct me if I'm wrong but FTP only allows complete file transfers, ie the complete file can only be copied from one location to another.
If you want to stream media, you need to set up your NAS to do so.
I have a ReadyNAS and although its different to yours there is a mass of useful information on their website, readynas.com

Ah

That was really the main purpose of setting all this up you see.

How do I set it up so I can stream?
