Filezilla

Dear all,

I just installed filezilla and I am able to acces the WDME using my normal user acount and root. However I'm unable to open any files (mp3 etc.) in both normal and super user. anybody got any ideas on how to deal with this?

Filezilla seemd like a great way to acces my files, since I basically want an easy way to acces my WDME any where in the world. Further since i'm a complete newb, filezilla (with its grafic user interface) appeals to me.

EDIT:

I really need to fidle with programs more, I simply didn't designate a propper map to witch I could download my files. Now it's working like a charm. any suggestions are still welcome though

EDIT: EDIT:
So I encountered another problem, I can download from my WDMB, however I'm unable to upload when normal user, only as root. I don't like being root just to upload. How can I make normal user capable of upload?

Indeed I cant open an mp3 directly I have to download it first indeed. Is it at all possible to stream media files? What do I need to do for that? If possible a step by step copy paste instruction is welcome!

I figured mediatomb was the way to go. I installed mediatomb and can acces it by the :49152 port of the servers IP. Files are detectable, but how on earth do I play these files? The only buttons there are a + and a + in 2 circular arrows.
