XR500 FTP, no download permit

I have a USB-drive connected to the router and it worked fine aprox a year ago. But after some update I can only connect and upload files via FTP, not download anything.   See my settings in attach...

    I finally solved this problem.

     

    Downgrading the firmware didn't help.

    I had to change the "Write Access" on my USB drive to "All - no password" to be able to download files from the drive via FTP.

    When I have admin access only it does not allow me to download anything, only upload.

     

    See attached picture.

     

    Regards.
