ftp - Efficient File Sharing with Synology NAS

    I am using a Synology DS213. Before I got a new router I could transfer files very quick over the windows explorer. After getting a new router nothing seems to work for me. - Over Windows Explorer I can go to the second level of subfolders afterwards it tries to load but never finishes. - Over Synology Cloud it does not update subfolders somehow - Over FTP I can copy smaller files up to 100KB but for bigger ones it does not work.

    I looked in the router settings and tried enabling and disabling different things, but I need some guidance, what to look for, because I am not an expert, when it comes to network protocols.

    Maybe your dchp settings changed. Check for irregularities in jumbo packet settings.

    What does copying big files with ftp does not work? What error code do you get?

    Synology NAS/cloud solution over port 80

    I would like to store my files and music on a personal cloud and access it/ stream it from anywhere. (and occasionnally manage a torrent client ) I would like to be able to access it on a local network as well via a windows/linux file explorer.

    But the real problem is for web based part: it should be on port 80: I currently own a synology nas, but it uses ports 5000, 4000, etc to access it's functionnalitiy, and my company firewall prevent me from accessing the music and files app.

    Do you have any suggestions ?

    Port forward 80 externally to 4000/5000 or whatever your WebGUI of the NAS is on through your router. See http://portforward.com/routers.htm for guides based on your router make/model.
