Well, I never realised I could connect to smb://admin@MyNASHost/c until you suggested that! I could have not deleted the files in .bittorrent from my backup as I did a couple of hours ago thinking there was no way to restore them.

Where can I get this add-on that fixes permissions btw? I can't see it here: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=617 or here: http://www.readynas.com/?cat=36
