So...just to confirm:
Remote access to the shared folders (www.buffalonas.com) is secured via the local User/Group permissions for the shared folders which can also be set on these folders for web access.
Remote access to the admin page is secured via the admin log in (defaults - admin : password).
Remote access to the download manager (BitTorrent) is not secure in any way.
Many thanks for your input. I am happy to set the Web Access and access the Admin page remotely but I may not set the download manager for remote access.
