: Limitting LAN access to CloudStor Pro
: hilopuh2010 June 21, 2011, 11:55:16 PM

I have CloudStor Pro 2 Bay 1-2TB Model: CS-WV? Firmware Version: 1.01 build 1.21?. I want to limit access to Public folder from LAN access to myself. As I tested, the public folder is accessible to anyone who knows the IP address of CloudStor through LAN. I mean LAN access by entering IP address as the path name in the Windows 7's explorer. Can I limit the access?

 

Thank you in advance.

There is an option in the interface to turn this off. This is in the device settings in the interface and there you will see LAN Access. Just choose disable.

Hello Jotin,

 

I understand that there is no user authentication for Windows Local File access. But totally disabling Windows Local File access is an acceptable and good option for me. Thank you.
