Hi all,

I posted a similar one to this a while back but wondering if anyone can help with this as I have a new router which isn't quite as technical as the last one.
I have a netdisk network drive connected to my router which allows FTP access with username/password control.
If I leave the FTP port open on my router I tend to hear activity noises on the drive to suggest attempted external access probably following a port scan.
I tried setting the port to be different to the default 21 but my new router doesn't allow for the inbound port on the router to a different internal port as my old router did.
I was thinking about something like netstat but really want something I can run on my laptop which somehow can see inbound and outbound connections on the drive. I'm thinking the only way of doing something like that would need the drive itself to be running some kind of app but it's a unix type firmware on the landisk which doesn't seem to allow for anything like that to run.
My other thoughts are alternative firmware for the drive which I'm a bit cautious about and would involve probably formatting the disk and copying everything back again.
It's a very reliable drive I would just want to ensure as best security as possible really, it would be great to have always on access to it from outside my network without worrying about the data on there being hacked...

Many thanks
