Encrypting Data Transmission - Buffalo TeraStation User Manual

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.
