ready NAS rnd2110 - User Group Account issues
So I have an old Ready Nas Duo that I still use. I don't access it often to realize that something happened in the past year and I am not sure quite why. I apologize if I write a book. I just want...
Solution: I upgraded the NAS firmware and and now able to connect as "Vince" using the AFP file. Last time a tried this a little while back, it didn't update and created more issues than it was worth. The upgrade in firmware did the trick for the Catelina MAC...
Thanks for your guidance through all of this.

That would be one of the factors that could be in play YES! I havent accessed these folders until now since this upgrade..
What do I need to do? Thanks ahead of time BTW!

I'm not a Mac owner, but from what I've read on this, Apple has removed the SMB 1 protocol that your NAS uses from Catalina (Microsoft is also deprecating SMB 1). So if you are using SMB to access the shares in Finder, you might need to go back to AFP (enabling it for the NAS shares of course).
So i assume you mean go into the Netgear Console and check the box for AFP? If so, I have done that. The folders I referred to below still show as a command prompt to open. Anything else you can suggest? Feel free to ask other questions.

I don't get what you mean by that (perhaps because I don't own a Mac).
I have read something about Apple eliminating to the icon most NAS manufacturers use to represent the NAS shares in Finder, so it has to use something else. But from what I understand, it's just cosmetic -- the shares behave normally. Are yours not accessible even with AFP enabled?
A Mac can also access NFS shares, so you could try enabling that, too. But I believe you do need to explicitly mount the shares, as there is no "advertisement" of their availability.
