You is want may want to move this to the sub – forum for your device .

For local network access to the My Cloud one generally does not need to use ftp . One is use can use Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder . One is map can “ map ” My Cloud share for easy and quick access .

FTP is not a secure method of access if one is using it for remote access.

When using FTP or sftp for remote access one generally will have to enable port forwarding within their router .

One needs to ensure they are using the correct user name and password when using FTP. The user name and password varies depending on what firmware one is using.

See the My Cloud OS 5 User Manual for more information on configuring FTP. See FTP Access under Network Services.

It looks like there is a bug where FTP access does not work even though it is enabled.

Turn FTP access off and back on it may fix your problem.

Seem to fix my problem where my Sony A1 will not FTP to the server sometimes.
