I bought a white WD MyBook World Ed and I have followed all the instructions to make FTP work but no success till now

1. I have enabled the service in my WD using the default port
2. I have open the 21 port to my router (Draytek Vigor 2700) pointing to my WD ip
3. I have opened the 5000-5099 ports to my router pointing to my WD ip
4. I have made the 21 port redirection pointing to my WD ip

Although I can access my WD from outside using the 8080 port, I can't connect through ftp using Fileziila client because I get the following message:

Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server

Any ideas??

P.S. Using the same steps in another WD but with different router everything were fine..!

Thanks in advance

net use * /delete

It will unmap all your network drives, then remap them the way you wanted and see if you can reproduce this issue.

Also, have a look to this Microsoft article :
Error message when you use user credentials to connect to a network share from a Windows-based computer: "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password"

If I am not wrong, basically that article explains you cannot access already shared network resources under a different credential from the same client machine.

Anyway, tell us more details about the error message you get when you try to map your network drive. Check also the Event Viewer for any interesting logs.

I know this is problem is already discussed many times but I just can figure out the right solution. If I work with public folder (access to all), then I can map the network drive without any problems. But when I set in web interface of my mybook some access rights to a folder, then I have to enter user and pw to map the network drive. The problem is, that no pw and username seems to work so I can't map the network drive…
The rights etc. must be correct because I can access the folder over sftp. So someone knows what I have to do that I can map a network drive in the windows explorer when a network folder has restriced access?

btw I'm using windows 7 and windows xp

thx for any help

iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table ‘filter’: iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

netfilter (packet filtering at kernel level), on which iptables (Linux firewall to manage packet filter rulesets), needs to be setup to have moblock operational.
insmod is available in the package module-init-tools, but how to get the needed kernel modules for iptables ? Is their no other choice than altering the Linux kernel ? I understood that cross compiling¹ the Linux kernel with external modules could provide new features. Some of you reported here to have successfully installed moblock but I haven't find any working instructions. I found someone who has probably done some progress with iptables² integration to the MBWE but I didn't manage to contact him so far…
In addition to moblock, I would like to be able to run the arno-iptables-firewall script.

If you could share some thoughts about the topic, we may finally propose a clear solution for everyone to apply.

Cheers !

Not sure what it means, but I also tried \\nas\nfs\private (and same with Ip where I now have NAS)

I haven't hacked my MBWE, and it has NFS support, but I just can't get it to work. Hope someone is willing to help.

In the NAS I enabled NFS on my share called private.
The NAS IP is 192.168.1.30
In NAS settings all ip addresses are allowed, but I also added the ip for my linux and windows machine seperately

On my windows 7 machine I installed nfs support. I also checked out this site with details on mounting
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754350.aspx

I ran this command:
mount \\192.168.1.30\private j:
and I get
Network Error - 53

Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.

When I type that I get: the network path was not found. kind of clueless what to do next. I also substituted the ipadress for the name (NAS) but that doesnt help

I was absolutely amazed by the great hacks described on the wiki! Everything works really well on my My Book (blue rings). After setting up Optware I started using Samba from its repository and implemented all settings I also use on my Debian system. No pain, it all worked immediately!

Sadly however, sometimes Windows XP clients seem to 'forget' their login credentials of the mapped network drives during the day, causing much distress at my office! Using Windows GUI nor command line tool net use (with or without persistent) makes Windows behave correctly. All clients need to reconnect to their network drives to regain access to the Samba shares. But in time the connection fails again…

Do you have any suggestions that may help me?

Thank you in advance!

But I am facing one problem with the vsftpd configuration and after many hours of testing, searching and scratching my head, I am stuck.

I configured that local users has access to jailed folder and all works fine, but I would like to restrict the access to SSH for them.

I tried this:
1. Edit the /etc/passwd and change /bin/sh to /bin/false or /bin/true or /sbin/nologin. This block the SSH and FTP access, so it doesn't do the trick.
2. Edit the /etc/ssh_config to use the AllowUser, DenyUser, ..Group.. and etc, but none of them worked as expected, later I saw that this version of openBSD / openSsh doesn't support those.

Do you have any other suggestions that may help me define users that are allowed to login to the FTP, but not SSH?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

if you installed the Webserver + AccessBook feature pack (http://highlevelbits.free.fr ) , you can unrar from the web interface,
the unrar command will be run by the web server…
Simply clilck in the green arrow, near your rar file…
Regards,

With screen you can see exactly what happened.

umount /opt >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -o sync /dev/mtdblock4 /opt

all I get is an empty /opt/lost+found…

 ~ $ umount /opt >/dev/null 2>&1 ~ $ mount -o sync /dev/mtdblock4 /opt ~ $ ls -l /opt/ drwx------ 2 root root 0 Aug 23 2006 lost+found ~ $ ls -l /opt/lost\+found/ ~ $ 

any suggestions ?
thanks

I am using MyRapBook and I want to unrar after download in mybookworld without attention of connected computer.

thank you

Login to ShareSpace via SSH

umount /opt >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -o sync /dev/mtdblock4 /opt

File /opt/rootfs_full.tar.gz contains a complete image of the firmware

Copy it to some place and unpack.

Do NOT try to unpack this file to the /opt !!!

I've tried the GPL source before posting, it does include folder (under different name), but not all subfolders and files…

So I'm still looking for someone to copy it from their ShareSpace …

Thanks again !
