Access external connected USB drive NAS 104
ReadyNas 104 - Fireware 6.5.1 I've connected USB drive. Is there a way to access the drive like a i-SCSI drive i.e. upload and view drive contents without having to access USB drive via brows...
Finally found the solution I was looking for. Thanks to all, who assisted me, to find a solution.
You need a space between USB_HDD_2/ and user:admin
i.e. use
net use \\192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2/ user:admin
Copy (ctrl C) from above and paste (ctrl V) into cmd line
Implemented exactly as per your instructions i.e. Ctrl C then Ctrl V see below
C:\>net use \\192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2/ user:admin
System error 53 has occurred.
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
Oh.................
sure 192.168.1.65 is correct
sure USB_HDD_2 is correct
Confirm from NAS GUI or RAIDar
I'm absolutely sure both are correct
http://192.168.1.65/admin/# (taken from browser) opens netgear admin NAS page.
Tab - Shares>External lists name USB_HDD_2 protocols SMB, NFS, AFP, FTP all enabled, permissions anoymous - read/write
Okay, so that should work!
Can you run that previous command against one of your normal shares? Let's say you have a share called Documents.
Then try and use:
net use \\192.168.1.65\Documents /user:admin
Does that work?
Unfortunately not see below
C:\>net use \\192.168.1.65\Documents /user:admin
System error 58 has occurred.The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.Hi again,
Well it is quite odd. I am starting to suspect something else is it work.
How do you normally access your shares? Just the regular shares.
I switched to my Tablet Windows 10 see below. I get as far as password and despite typing the password nothing appears (nothing to indicate characters are being entered). What is the snytax for the complete command i.e. net use \192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2/ user:admin password:********** hopefully that will force connection. Regarding shares I tend to have desktop icon with properties target for example \\NWHDD01, I do have another Netgear ReadNAX AV+ with desktop icon property of \\NASAV I can share files etc. from and to computers. Hopefully this helps you to find a solution.

Thank you for reply.
Progress has been made with Windows 10 tablet see below. The problem remains the password. When I type the characters nothing appears on screen. The cursor remains in a static positon. WHAT is the syntax to add password to the net use \\192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2 /user:admin for example net use \\192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2 /user:admin /password:*****
The password I use is the same one I use to log on through the browser to ReadyNAS.

C:\>Hi CABird_UK,
It seems things are moving in the right direction :)
It is on purpose that command prompt keeps the cursor in a static position when you type the password. It is a security thing.
If you instead want to feed the password directly into the net use command, you can simply add the password in the end. Make a space after /user:admin and here add your password. Remember it has to be the same password as the one you use for the web admin page.
Here it is:
net use \\192.168.1.65\USB_HDD_2 /user:admin yourpassword
CheersImplemented but problem persists. I still cannot access USB drives.

System error 5 has occurred.The command syntax is finally correct. You shouldn't be posting the passwords you are using here - but the password you want to use is the NAS admin password. That is the same password that you use when accessing https://192.168.1.65/admin in your browser. If you never set the NAS admin password, it is password
Also, if you are making multiple attempts that fail to work, you might need to enter net use * /d before each.
