Access Files from the Internet
Below are step-by-step instructions on how to access files that are on your USB thumb drive or external hard drive that is connected to your router:
Step 1 - Enable SharePort Web Access
Check the
Enable SharePort Web Access
checkbox to enable. Then
enter the port(s) for HTTP or HTTPS (secure). The default for HTTP is
8181 and HTTPS is 4433.
Step 2 - Create a User Account
Under
User Creation
, enter a username and password, and then click
Add/Edit
.
Step 3 - Configure your Access Path
Under
User List
, click the
Modify
icon for the user you just created.
Here you can browse to the folder on your USB storage device you
want to assign the Access Path to.
Step 4 - Save Settings
If you want to add more users, repeat steps 2 and 3. Once you are
finished, click the
Save Settings
button at the top to save your
settings.
Note that under the HTTP Storage Link (at the bottom) will display
the URL(s) you can use to connect. Also if you selected HTTPS, you
must type in
HTTPS://
instead of
HTTP://
to get a secure connection.
For example, if you selected HTTPS and changed the port to
3200, and your WAN IP address is 1.2.3.4, then you would enter
HTTPS://1.2.3.4:3200
to connect.
