![]() ![]() There is a link on the other post that shows you how to map ports from outside to your inside devices. Now that you can FTP within your LAN (Local Area Network) you can now try to access outside your house if that is your intentions. Usernames, shares and the ability to map your cloud as an external device are all part of this process. If you did not connect, go back and review all the previous steps from 1 to 4. port 21 must be mapped from your router later on when you connect your router to your cloud, but for now just be aware of it. password: <= likewise again from your setup.Īnd there you will see port: 21 <= this is your FTP port. Username: <= this is your username from your setupĬ. Server <= ip of your cloud (inside iP) You should set up a static ip for your cloud. So start up the Cyberduck app and click on “Open Connection”, and you will need the IP of your cloud forĪ. now make sure you can connect within your own home.I don’t know if that version is safe though, check around, google it and figure out which version is safe to download and run. However I think this version of it is free… click here I use a Mac FTP program called cyberduck which I think it is free, but on the Mac app store it is $28. Turn on FTP in your WD US under settings. Now once all that above is setup, mainly the user name and password, and Shares. Yes there is also the outside IP which you must have tried. Now this is your inside IP (yeah like your inside voice, just kidding). You will need to know your IP later for connecting using FTP. You can of course test the setup by mapping the cloud to your Mac using the finder “Go”, “Connect to Server”, then typing in the using the server name, or ip like so…Īfp://WDM圜loud/Cloudy <= afp is the protocol, WDM圜loud is the device name and Cloudy is the share nameĪfp://192.168.0.15 <= this is the alternative method of connection. There you will set up the device name (mine is WDM圜loud), shares (mine is Cloudy) and user names (Mine is well, not letting you know). make sure all your users and shares are set up corectly under your Cloud UI.However I have just tested my FTP access from a MAC to confirm that my memory of FTP is still working, I’ll try to guide you a little bit, but you have to do some serious reading and some additional research for the most part. Well, most of us are just customers like you, except for the few moderators, none of us are getting paid to reply lengthily on a “How-to” post :-P Thus to re-write the other post in easy to understand english is a task in itself thus you really will have to do most of the research yourself, And, extending Cyberduck's excellent Mac OS X integration-which includes support for Keychain, Spotlight, Bonjour, and iDisk-the latest version adds very slick integration with Leopard's Quick Look feature, allowing Quick Look to work with remote files.I’m supprised to find that no can help with gaining FTP access to the WD Cloud on a Mac, after 256 views of this thread. Version 3 also adds a feature to quickly open a file via its http URL in a web browser. The latest version of Cyberduck adds support for WebDAV servers and Amazon's S3 storage service to its support of FTP, SFTP, FTP/TLS, and SCP protocols. Yesterday the makers of Cyberduck, a free and open-source FTP client made just for Mac OS X, announced a major update to version 3.0, so I thought I would give it a shot. But I've never been thrilled about its busy interface, which can be daunting for novice users. Some friends in the tech support world often recommend the free and open-source FileZilla, which offers a Mac OS X version in addition to Windows and Linux. But some people don't use FTP enough to justify Transmit's $30 price, even if it may be (arguably) the best FTP client for Mac OS X. I've been using it since version 1, and have happily upgraded whenever a new major version comes along. When people ask for a recommendation for a good FTP client on Mac OS X, I usually recommend Panic's excellent Transmit. ![]()
