I'm looking to use a USB 8GB stick so I can store and swap files between a few PC's and an Apple MBP across my home network. What app do I use on the 66U and how do I set it up???
Thanks!
Thanks!
Go to USB Applications, and go through the AiDisk configuration wizard. In your case, you'll want to use Samba (Network Sharing).
Thank you so much for the reply!
What do I format the flash drive to seeing that I use both Mac and Widows machines?
Thank you again
Do I need to enable DLNA media server?
edit: i can see the server through an ftp, and internet connection through my browser but i can't upload any files..
I still don't get it. Is there a tutorial on this somewhere?
You did set up everything on this page and try to connect to the share from a PC/MAC ? To make it easier at first, allow guest login.
Don't know for the ftp server. I always work with the samba/shares. Sorry...Ok, I'll try that first. But I didn't have it enabled before and was just logging in with my admin credentials to the ftp:xxx.xxx.x flash drive. It reached the drive and i thought to upload files to the folder I would just drag and drop them into the browser. Something is wrong somewhere.
It also wants me to enable the ftp server? Is this correct?
edit; it's also asking me to enable ddns, is this correct also ?
???In Windows, in the inbuildt firewall and/or in your antivirus software, you also need to open for outgoing-requests on port 445 on domain and private network (but not public - unless you want to access it via the internet aswell, in such case you'd need to open port 445 on your router aswell - which I do not recommend under any circumstances for samba/smb.)
That is correct. Windows Firewall already has a pre-configured rule called "File and Printer Sharing". Provided that is allowed for the private network everything should be OK. No need to create another rule.???
Using Samba/shares, it is working for me on windows 7 and 8, and never I had to explicitly open a port ...
