XR500 FTP, no download permit

[Klys]

I have a USB-drive connected to the router and it worked fine aprox a year ago. But after some update I can only connect and upload files via FTP, not download anything.

See my settings in attached picture.

I finally solved this problem.

Downgrading the firmware didn't help.

I had to change the "Write Access" on my USB drive to "All - no password" to be able to download files from the drive via FTP.

When I have admin access only it does not allow me to download anything, only upload.

See attached picture.

Forgot to mention firmware:

V2.3.2.56

I'm not sure why this is happening. I think somebody more familliar with the Netgear side of the software will have to advise you on this because Netduma doesn't make this part...

If it's a problem with the most recent firmware update, you can always downgrade by downloading the previous version from the Netgear support site.

That makes sense, I guess... Although it's not immediately clear.

I'll keep this in mind in case anybody else runs across this issue. Thanks for the update!

Is it possible to update that in the next firmware? It would feel more safe if I could have my admin password for my USB storage and still be able to download files with FTP.

We'll pass it on to Netgear but may not make it into the next firmware.
