I have a shared folder setup on my Linkstation LS-WTGL/R1-V3 F/W 3.09, I want to map the shared folder at my work so I can drag and drop with out logging into WebAccess is this possible, its a windows Vista machine at work. Please help
You cannot map share folders via web access.
It sounded to me as though you wished to map the shared folder without using web-access or logging into web-access to send files to it. The moderator seems to have interpreted the question differently.
Let's say you have a shared folder with access restrictions in place so as to require login before a file can be sent to it. From a LAN you now have several ways to put a file onto that share: Map it (requiring a log in), Access it by its network location (still requiring an login), access it via FTP (still requiring a login), or access it via webaccess (still requiring a login). Don't be afraid of the login process. It's there to protect you. And you should only have to login once, until you log out (explicitly, or through a reboot, etc.).
So on a LAN you have four ways to put a file on that share. A work you have two: FTP and WebAccess. If you find WebAccess to be inadequate, FTP may offer a richer file-handling environment that better meets your needs. However, there is actually a third way: Set up your home network with a Virtual Private Network. From your office now you ought to be able to tunnel into your LAN at home, making it seem as though you are actually on your local area network, even though you're in the office.
For this to work you'll either need a static IP at home, or you'll need to subscribe to one of those dynamic DNS services so that you'll be able to find your home network even if its dynamic IP changes.
In the end, it may be too much effort to set up the VPN, and if that's the case, FTP is a good alternative. You may still need to subscribe to a dynamic DNS service to find your network though.
Some routers natively have VPN capabilities, if this is something that interests you, see if your router already has it. Daos is right that you can access files via FTP or VPN. I'm not sure what Daos is trying to answer, however, as you can't "map" shares this way, unless he knows something I don't.
