Access my book live by internet without wd2go

Hi,

This might be a silly question but , Is there a way to map a WD book live via internet? I can connect to it on the home network via smb with my mac but I want to access it when im away without having to go to wd2go .  Is there any other option besides creating a vpn and connect to the home network . ?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Sure, you just have to open a port in your router.

I, for example, have an open port for ssh access.

Through this protocol you can securely access both your system and your files with an SFTP client.

Just make sure that you choose a non-standard port and that you disable root access.
