Limited flash storage space and CPU limitations, we have removed the built-in Network Storage function from some model.
You can continue to use this feature by manually installing some plugins.
Before installation, ensure that the router has at least 20 Mbit/s free flash space.
Why not have a script that optionally kicks off an ExRoot install if the user plugs in a USB drive/Transflash card similar to how it is done w/ LuCI not being included by default?
If you just install the Samba plugins and set the access rights and firewall manually, then everything works perfectly.
I don’t know why the support-team doesn’t get this integrated properly. (AR750S)
Does anyone have an idea how to do file sharing with a 4.x firmware? Or does anyone know a download link for the last 3.x version where this was still available in the GUI?
Thank you very much for your answer.
I just need a device that works and has the features advertised at the time. No offence to the developers, but it can't be that features are taken and then no foolproof alternative is offered.
For my use case, it's a core function that I've been missing since the update.
Thank you for the response.
I know my user group is perhaps very small, but Samba or FTP is essential for us. We use the routers to connect PLCs, robots and production systems so that several developers can access them simultaneously. Thanks to the file sharing option, we can run automated backups and all have permanent access to them. It's maybe 50MB of data traffic spread over the whole day but it saves us a lot of time.
