thanks wiz.

ive just downloaded that firmware from the link you gave.
im off to put it in.

ill be back im sure. hehe

Well, it is a different one to the one you were using, that's for sure. I just found the link to the one you used.

Seems if you follow the firmware wizard here you end up with 1.9.2.7-7g, the one you were using.

Hope it will give you the opportunity to select the ftp option like in mine.

Cheers,

Wiz

Ok im getting stressed again.

Ive tryed to get into the ftp side from an external pc and still no luck.
do i have to change or add a setting so when you try to gain entry from an extrenal pc it directs me to the right place ie the harddrive sitting on the ftp.

As it is right now the command im using is ftp://clive@82.42.234.247:21 i dont know how to add a password in that command so im going to asume that i will be asked for the password.

Ive noticed there are these settings ( lan to wan )( wan to lan ).
Im not sure but do i need to alter settings in these section so ftp from an external pc not in my network can gain access to the ftp and files on my drive.

wiz you are going to be getting sick of me soon. hehe

make it ftp://clive:clivessecretpassword@82.42.234.247 .

Wiz you are going to be getting sick of me soon. hehe

Nah, takes more than that :-)

I think you set enable FTP Server to "yes" in the usb application / ftp server menu, and then you should be good to go.

p.s. Don't forget to supply the real password after the :
