FreeNAS 8.0.3: FTP Configuration (video) and FreeNAS 8.0.4 BETA2

The following video, created by the FreeNAS team, shows you how to configure FreeNAS for FTP.

FreeNAS 8.0.4-BETA2 is out for testing. Changes since 8.0.4-BETA1:

Enhancements

• Update transmission to 2.42 (SF r10093).
• Add MegaCLI tool (SF r10072, r10073).
• Disable periodic tasks in the base system that would negatively impact system performance on NAS boxes with large directory structures (SF r10113).
• Fix handling for ‘every day’ SMART tasks created in the GUI (SF r10088).

Bugfixes

• Add in several robustness fixes to reduce potential for filesystem corruption on root /  root device. In some scenarios this would also improve performance when fetching data from the root device as well (SF r10095, r10109, r10129).
• Fix vfs objects modules ordering so shadow copy (aka previous versions) support functions again (FN 935, FN 1186, FN 1275).
• Update samba to 3.6.3 to resolve several bugs (both security and non-security related) (SF r10127).
• Network field from iSCSI initiator could contain multiple IP addresses, CIDR addresses, or ANY keyword (SF r10082).
• Generate istgt.conf properly if and when multiple initiators were specified (SF r10081).
