Can't find C drive or admin related folders
I'm starting to regret my choice in NAS, maybe I should've gone for a more user-friendly (beginner) one :x
I used to be able to see the admin related folders such as C volume etc but now I can't.
As far as I'm aware I'm logging into the NAS as admin, at least on Frontview.
I access the files on the readynas via Computer>Network or Readynas Remote, it seems this is only way access to the information on the NAS from my LAN but it only gives access to Share folders, not the other stuff I used to see. I'm totally confused by this whole thing. None of the manuals, guides, forum info etc are in easy to understand terms for me. I also can't delete a test folder I've created, it says I need permission from 'unix user/ nobody'.
Please help before I throw this thing out of the window!
From what I've read I need to login as admin, where the hell do I do that??! I assumed that was what I was doing. When I try and use the admin login to access shares over HTTP it accepts it but when I click on the Shares folder it asks for another login. Admin won't work here, it only accepts a created user login and password.
:cry:

If you are trying to see C or the admin share, you can't access it from http/s. You use Windows explorer, logging in as admin.
This all assumes an ultra, pro, or V1 NV+/Duo. If you have a V2 NV+/Duo it does not apply.
Sorry for being daft. So, to see C or the admin share, I dont need to enable http/s access?
I just need to go to \\NAS-EA-33-3B in windows explorer?
I only see:
BlurayMovies
backup
media
elc
(I have a ReadyNas Pro
)

The reason you aren't seeing C and admin is that you are not accessing the NAS as admin. Your Windows system by default presents your windows logon. If the NAS accepts it, then your windows user name is your NAS logon, and that controls your access.jabberwockie wrote: I just need to go to \\NAS-EA-33-3B in windows explorer?

There are several ways to overcome this.
-simply log in as admin on the windows system when you want to see the C drive.
-Set the Windows credentials for the NAS to be admin (on the windows side). With Windows 7 this is done through the "windows credentials" control panel app. What version of Windows are you using?
-Use the "net use" command in a command line or batch file script.StephenB wrote:

I am using windows 7 64 bit. Do I add new or edit existing credentials under Credential Manager? Under which one (Windows Credentials, Certificate Based Credentials, or Generic Credentials)?
It is under "Windows Credentials". If the NAS already has an entry there, you can edit it. Otherwise create a new one.jabberwockie wrote: I am using windows 7 64 bit.
