Chapter 12: USB Storage Disk Sharing

(For NP18 1A, 2B)

The router connects to your USB hard disk/flash disk to allow easy storage sharing in the network and across the Internet. Once your USB hard disk/flash disk is connected to your router, you can access the shared disk via FTP or Windows networking.

!Note: The router lets you share entire drives instead of individual folders.

Enable FTP or Windows networking

Under the HOME USER FEATURES command menu, click on USB Storage Disk Sharing.

There are two ways you can choose to let the users access your USB storage disk: via FTP or Windows networking. If you wish to transfer data via FTP, enable the FTP Server option.

A. To enable FTP Server

Using your Web browser or FTP software, you can remotely access the USB disk connected to the router and upload/download files to and from it.

Allow Anonymous: Selecting Yes indicates that you allow users to access to your USB storage disk to upload and/or download files without having to key in a username and password. Otherwise, you can create an FTP account to allow only users with authorized username and password to FTP to your storage disk.

Allow Internet: Selecting Yes indicates that you allow FTP users to access your storage disk

via the Internet. No indicates that only LAN access is allowed. FTP Port: This is the default TCP port for FTP connection. You may choose another port number if port 21 is being used by another FTP server in the network.

B. To enable Windows File Server

You can easily access the USB storage disk by browsing for the router from a PC in the same Windows workgroup.

You are allowed to define three kinds of user access rights to your USB storage disk: read and write, read or disable.

Read and write access let users view, create and delete files in the USB storage disk. For Read access, users are not allowed to modify the disk contents. However, they still can see and open files. Selecting Disable prohibits users from accessing to your USB storage disk.
