Help with SECURE access
Help please - in simple steps. I have tried reading a lot of the forum points, but they don't address the issues in full for me. I have been reading on the BBC website about how they reckon people...
You have a duo v1 (which is a sparc). duo v2 would be arm.
Start with getting the LAN to work correctly first.
You need CIFS for the two pcs. You can certainly turn off guest access. Create a user account for the PCs to use on the NAS with a password, and then go into the control panel in Windows 7, and run the Windows Credential Manager. Add a "windows credential" for the NAS, using the Nas Name, and user/pass you created on the NAS. Search for "windows credentials manager" for XP and win 8, there is a way to enter those credentials on those OS also.
Then go into frontview (the web ui), and select CIFS icon next to each share in the share listing. Then select the "advanced options" tab on the top right. Enter the username you created, and then the group that user was in (likely "USER"). Select "disabled" for "folder everyone rights". Then check the box next to "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders..." and click apply on the bottom right.
Wait for the pop to complete, and then see if you can access that share.
How are you accessing the NAS from your iphone and ipad today? ReadyRemote? Or some other way?
