I have a FTP server (Asus RT-AC66u with a 3TB usb hard drive plugged in)
I have no problem accessing it using FileZilla on a PC or using ES File Explore on my Android phone.
I showed my boss my setup because he is interested in a setup like mine. He asked if i t was secure. I told him other that having a username and password to get into the server, it is probably not. His issue is the data going back and forth. He wants that data secure or encrypted and not falling into the wrong hands(I.e. hacker) I told him it may be somewhat secure if you use VPN software. I use Private Internet Access as my VPN software. I tried it on my computer and it didn't connect to my FTP server. I tried it on my phone and it didn't connect either. Does any one have a fix or a solution for this problem.
I'm not a noob at this but I am not an expert either. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
