So I just enabled http on one of my shares. I turned off everyone access and gave a user access (only 1 user).
I went to http://ip/basgafasdfasf (basgafasdfasf is my share name).
It prompted me immediately for credentials. I hit cancel, it gave me this error
"Authorization Required
The ReadyNAS could not verify that you are authorized to access the resource requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required."
When I refreshed back to the IP/basgafasdfasf, I tried logging in.
I still got the apache2 index. Saw all the files from a share level. All my files have guest.guest ownership there. I redid all the permissions for the share to admin.admin and then changed the access level of those files to 770. When I refreshed the share page, all the folders disappeared and I was left with a file listing. When I tried to click the file, it gave me:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /basgafasdfasf/contexhelp.JPG on this server."
To me, it seems to work, althought not as glamerous as it could be.
