AFP access not visible for all shares (Mac)
I have an Ultra 4 model that I recently upgraded to OS 6. I am in the process of moving the data from my backup to the ReadyNAS but am having some difficulty with AFP access. In the Admin page via t...
You are connected as a guest to AFP and have guest access turned off for the Media share. You either need to enable guest access for the share or login as a user to AFP.
There are two levels of controls for shares.
The global under services.
Then each share has setting for control. Go to the shares tab and the left click on the share you want to change. Select setting.
Then goto the service that you want to configure. Turn it on and set any setting that are necessary.
That should have you working.
Thanks for your response. I have checked the settings you mentioned and they are set the exact same as each other but only the Documents share is the one that shows up as an AFP share. I am wondering if I need to reset the NAS again. The default shares all showed up as AFP shares but any new shares I add, do not.
Hi gilbreen,
Are you running FW 6.4.2 in your system? Try disabling the AFP service under System->Settings and re-enable it afterwards. Rebooting the unit after this procedure would help.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Communit TeamHi Brian,
Yes, I am running FW 6.4.2. I did as you recommended - disabled AFP under System -> Settings, turned it back on, and then rebooted the ReadyNAS. Unfortunately, only the Documents share is available as an AFP share.
Before I reset the ReadyNAS, are there any other suggestions or things I should check?
Thanks.
