Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 file srver

Hi Guys,

 

Is there a way to assign access to file server with other password than admin? If I want to share a file with someone, I have to open unprotected access until that person downloads the file. This is a bit less stupid than sharing my admin password with others...

 

I bought this router thinking to install DD-WRT on it for VPN and file server but hesitating doing so because it already have easy to use VPN. File sharing is still a problem because of poor password options...

 

Thank you
