Encrypting Data Transmission

Encrypting Settings Data

All communication with Settings can use SSL encryption if you access the Settings page by changing "http://" to
"https://" in the browser address bar or click Secure Connection from the login window. Once you logged in by the
HTTPS connection and disabled SSL encryption, click Normal Connection from the login window.

Encrypting FTP Transfer Data

Using SSL/TLS Encryption
You can encrypt passwords and files using SSL/TLS for secure FTP communication. First, open a shared folder's
settings and click Edit; under "LAN Protocol Support", select the "FTP" checkbox and click OK. Enable SSL security in
the setup screen for your FTP client. The procedure depends on the FTP client software.
Using SSH Encryption
You can encrypt passwords using SSH for secure FTP communication. First, open a shared folder's settings and
click Edit; under "LAN Protocol Support", select the "SFTP" checkbox and click OK. Also, you have to enable the SFTP
service by moving the SFTP switch to the on position on "File Sharing".

SSL Keys

SSL keys are used during setup screen operations and FTP communication. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a type of
encryption system called public key encryption. Generally, SSL is managed by the two files below.
server.crt (SSL Certificates)
The TeraStation sends the file to a computer, and the computer uses it to perform encryption. The TeraStation
receives the encrypted data and uses server.key ( the private key) to decrypt the data.
In SSL, this key contains the server certificate, and depending on your computer environment, a check may be
performed to determine the trustworthiness of the certificate. The server certificate included in the TeraStation in
the default settings was created by Buffalo, and in some cases the message "There is a problem with this website's
security certificate" may be displayed in your browser or other software. Disregard this message and continue.
