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.
Forgot to mention firmware:
V2.3.2.56
DumaOs Name: A7Legit
I'm not sure why this is happening. I think somebody more familliar with the Netgear side of the software will have to advise you on this because Netduma doesn't make this part...
If it's a problem with the most recent firmware update, you can always downgrade by downloading the previous version from the Netgear support site.

That makes sense, I guess... Although it's not immediately clear.
I'll keep this in mind in case anybody else runs across this issue. Thanks for the update!
