Outlook PST file through FTP/USB Key

[Pandabeer]

Can somebody help me. I have an USB stick of 128 MB, shared by FTP. I can acces it (read/write/erase) I put the OULOOK pst file (of the active mailbox) on it. Now I want acces this file with Outlook, but this give the the message I don't have enough rights. (I made a networklocation of the ftp://192.168.1.1 with username and password) Through explorer I can acces this...

Does anybody knows a solution. Because I want to have access to the same maibox on both computers in my network...and both computers are not allways on on the same time... (so i thought I was clever to use this FTP storage option....) :eek:

Lots of applications can't handle FTP connections. You should try the Samba (windows share) option in the custom firmwares. Do a search for Samba on the forum and a world of new opportunities will open :)

Since I'm a newbey in Linux etc...please can somebody help me with installing/starting/configuring this SAMBA for the purpose I need (share outlook.pst so I can use 2 machines in the network with the same mailbox..)

Thanx in advance :cool:

Thanks for your reply...

I read through all the items i found on SAMBA. I see a lot of technical things and questions, but not one clear story how to. In the description of OLEG (thanks for all the work and great things OLEG :) ) Ican't still find the way how to make it work. I'm not used to work with TELNET etc. I just am a happy WL500B user and this deep things I don't have enough knowledge... :( sorry...

I tried to do it whith the small how to SAMBA..I opened telnet...but if I'm right I have to edit an file and add those rules...and then? I can't add these rules..how to... I filled these rules in on the prompt...nothing seems to happen...

I be you very thankfull if you can explain it to me step by step... (and I think it's not only for me... ;) )

Are you kidding??? :eek:
It's clearly written to execute (type) these lines


nvram bootCmdS="/usr/sbin/smbd -D"
nvram bootCmdN="/usr/sbin/nmbd -D"
nvram commit
reboot

Have you tried doing this in telnet session???

[Pandabeer]

1st ; Open cmd in windows
2nd; telnet 192.168.1.1
3rd; loginname + password

4th ; /mnt/ramfs/local/root #/ filled in your commands..

After nvram commit..it took a couple of secconds...then I did the reboot...

After my router is comming up again, I can't see the router in the networkview.....should I disable the FTP in the router? Do I miss a next step..

[Styno]

Okay so you've done some reading. Good. I'll try to make the Samba WIKI page sometime this weekend. I was planning on doing so anyway.

In the mean time Oleg's method should work.

[Pandabeer]

Waiting for those pages...I'm very thankfull that you will invest some time for me in this...

Thank you in advance!!

Type \\192.168.1.1 if thats your ruter ip in start -> run , it's not always that windows finds the shared folders that are on your network.

The router DIED..please help me...

[andre@home]

you can do a reset on the back.... (small hole)
Connect with a UTP cable on on of the 4 ports (not the WAN) and connect to the router with the default ip number and you can restore the settings or re install the firmware.

or a complete reset: press the same button in the hole on the back and switch only then the power on...
and again ;
Connect with a UTP cable on on of the 4 ports (not the WAN) and connect to the router with the default ip number and you can restore the settings or re install the firmware.

[Styno]

Okay, Samba WIKI page is up :)

[Pandabeer]

Thanx, I hope that my router will soon get up as well...then I can try your WIKI
