Raspberry Pi SMB NAS > FTP Server

[coderrquitsreality]

How do I make my existing SMB server to an FTP site? I don’t need this to be forwarded in any way.

I am running plain old Raspberry Buster Lite, and I think my files are important because I have redundancy

[mahyar]

are your file on a separated drive from your os? and what pi are you using?

Does the machine that needs the FTP server support SSH or SFTP? RSYNC? Even if you don't need to forward this server there's newer more secure standards. If anyone happens to break in to your Wi-Fi there's no reason to leave them an open FTP server they can get into.

It is on a single drive, 5 partitions (25GB ea.) and I am using a Raspberry Pi 3B+

 

My uncle gave it upon Raspberry Pi 4 8GB release

It has SSH. That’s how I connect right now

Can I set a password for all shares?

If this client machine supports this it should support SFTP if not also RSYNC. If you need to sync files off the SMB server or just need to pull files using a GUI.
