Lets start with the easy and safe part. Download PuTTY, the SSH client (putty.exe from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). Run it and connect to your NAS. Just enter it's address in "Host Name (or IP address)" field and press Open (SSH and port 22 should be selected by default). New black window will open and ask for username and password. The username should be "admin" and password your main administration password. If login succedes, you should see command prompt:
Try if the config is in the same path as mine:
Code: Select all
ls /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/proftpd.conf
If not, find it:
When you have the correct location, look at it's content:
Code: Select all
cat /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/proftpd.conf
Or just grep for the variable:
Code: Select all
grep GMT /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/proftpd.conf
If you get nothing or "TimesGMT on", then server uses GMT time for listing and TC does not expect that. Setting "TimesGMT off" should solve it.
Now comes the harder part. There seems to be only one text editor available on QNAP and it's "vi". And vi is very user unfriendly.
First, make a backup of current config:
Code: Select all
cp /path/to/proftpd.conf /path/to/proftpd.conf.backup
If you somehow manage to destroy the config file, you can go back to original, just swap the arguments:
Code: Select all
cp /path/to/proftpd.conf.backup /path/to/proftpd.conf
Then it's your choice:
1) Find some nice tutorial how to use vi (personally I hate that thing so much that I learned only how to exit from it ;)
2) Copy the config file somewhere else, where you can edit it in user friendly editor and then copy it back. You can use SFTP plugin (
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=19994) to access the entire filesystem of NAS. The editor you use should understand Unix line endings (almost anything better that Notepad should do) otherwise you'll see just one long line.
If you're not sure about anything, just ask.

Edit: Before you start changing anything, it's a good idea to do a little research to see if it can be influenced from administration. Do the safe part to be sure that the wrong option is set. I can't help you much with this, because the NAS that I have access to is not mine and I can't mess with it too much. :)
