WDTV Streaming Read Access rights vs. Admin Write Backup
Greetings, I am trying to determine the best approach to setup my user (and groups if necessary) and permissions on my Readynas102 on OS6 and a WDTV Live Streamming device. I will be using the NAS...
Thought I would share the solution in case others have this issue. After an excellent support call with Netgear....excellent....
they confirmed that using admin on 2 of my computers behaved just as I described above.
We setup another user and just gave access to the folders I wanted restricted to THAT user and then I could browse those folders on the PC and since the streamer was only accessing via anonymous, then it still did not see them.
Not sure why admin does not work. It might be again because my PC's do not have a logon or password for the default user which IS the admin user...
Hope this helps someone else.
