Encrypting Data Transmission

•Encrypting Data from the Web Admin interface

Access https://<TeraStation’s IP address> instead of http://... to encrypt all data from the Web Admin interface.

Note:

Your computer may display “there is a problem with this site’s security”, but you may ignore this message and work normally.

•Encrypting FTP Transfer Data

First, in the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Shared Folder Support] - [Ftp]. Check the box by each shared folder to encrypt data transfers.

Enable SSL security in your FTP client to encrypt login passwords and files by using SSL/TLS for FTP communication. Examples: In FileZilla’s settings, select [FTP over TLS (explicit encryption)] for the server type. For Smart FTP, select [FTP over SSL explicit] in the settings.

Notes:

•Encryption processes may seriously reduce data transfer speeds. Your transfers may be as much as 10 times slower when using encryption.

•Depending on your computer’s security settings, the message “there is a problem with this site’s security” may be displayed, but you may ignore this message and work normally.
