Topic: How to share USB Drive through LAN and WAN with FTP and Samba?

The content of this topic has been archived on 16 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

As the title suggest I want to share my USB connected to my Netgear WNDR3700 running 'OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment r32665' through both LAN and WAN.
I need user control and preferably I want to have a read/write account and a read-only account.

I already set up a samba share but I can't connect with my Mac, I get the error 'The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “USB” can’t be found.'

Can someone help me please with a step-by-step explanation (especially when firewall rules are involved).

Thanks in advance

Nobody who can help?
