I have a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ and have loved everything about it up until now. I recently enabled password-protected FTP access to 1 share, opened a port in my firewall, and used the
feature to transfer photos from my parent's computer in Los Angeles to my NAS in Tokyo. It worked wonderfully.
Netgear's response was that the bug will be fixed in a future firmware revision. Well, at least they're aware of the problem. Until then I simply don't trust this feature. No more opening firewall ports for me.
