FTP Server
FTP Server
Hello, I checked if the router can run an FTP server using a USB drive on your local network. It should work, but it might not display the FTP section because of settings or permissions.
The screenshot clearly displays the FTP server section along with all necessary configurations.
The issue stems from using an FTP client instead of an FTP server. It aims to fetch files from a server and save them locally. Because these routers often lack updates and run outdated Linux versions, I strongly caution against employing an unencrypted FTP server on a router. There are better alternatives if you wish to share files between devices while traveling or even publicly via an FTP server. Let me know if you'd like more details. You might have been fortunate not to become vulnerable—hacking could easily occur, risking data theft or system compromise. The security depends largely on the router's built-in protections rather than your setup choices.
