[kARTechnology]

hi guys, I have Dlink 2750u, i connected Transcend 16gb USB drive to it and can can access that via LAN and I've mapped as network drive too speeds are 3MB/s
From lan, I can access it from \\192.168.1.1\myname
Even though I've setup password it does NOT ask for password!!!
==============================
in "Storage service > User Accounts"
User name: somename
Password: somepassword
Confirm Password: somepassword
volume Name: usb1_1
==============================
I have dyndns setup and can access the router management from WAN.
Now how do i access FTP over WAN? using dyndns address

I can access router management page from *somename.dyndnsorg
I get username and password box if I type ftp://myusername@somename.dyndns.org, I get a window asking username and password but its not logging in even if I enter correct details...
I'm doing this from WAN, not from LAN, a computer from another place

In the Access Controls page, click Services & make sure ftp is enabled for WAN.

in storage settings check that directory you added to share has same name as it has now.also in dyndns account setting confirm you added ftp interface too(if there is such an option).

no its having folder, i'm using it in LAN to take backups...

 

[whitestar_999]

if you meant it is currently in use then try when this folder/usb is not accessed by any pc from lan.

try this then.port forward ftp port 21 to 192.168.1.1(your modem's homepage) & see if it works.
