I have a hard drive connected to my AC4000 and have set it up so I can access it remotely over the internet. I would like to try and make it secure. There was no place to set it up with ftps that I can find. It there a way?

I have not done it but I see no reason you could not encrypt the drive.

@PCMelville

Yes under the USB sharing options there is a toggle for Access Authetication. Just toggle this to require username and password to access shared resouces.
