Eng: How to add user on Neutrino

[dove_g]

I'm using Neutrino on Dreambox and I would like to share /hdd/mp3 dir only for let's say:

user:mp3
pass:mp3.

How to do that?


Thank you.

I am not sure that you mean what you write
Is the directory /hdd/mp3 located physically on your dreambox?

The basic answer would be: It depends. What is the client operating system?

It depends on which type on share you have - NFS does not support user/password authentication but it is the prefered method (access rights depend on ip and user id of NFS client).
The buggy CIFS stuff uses a user/password authentication and should be avoided.

Okay, when I read it I see that I don't also understand myself .

I would like to add user which can connect via FTP on my dreambox (powered by Neutrino) which will have only READ access to /hdd/mp3 directory.
My Dreambox has HDD with created dir mp3 on which I have some mp3 files, and I would like to share this mp3 on our local and wireless network to other clients, but I don't want to gave them root password access.

So I would like just to add user with READable rights and FTP access to /hdd/mp3 dir. Thank you.

Thank you.

P.S.
It is also samehow possible to run SAMBA and do the same for Microsoft OS access.

Thanks.

My personal advice would be to install an NFS server on your dreambox , configure it (only allow read-access from certain IP-addresses) and install the NFS client of Microsoft Services for Unix (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/) on your PCs.
With basic unix or linux knowledge this should be straight-forward.

Hm ok thanx, but what about share only with FTP?

[thegoodguy]

Any linux compatible ftp server will probably do. There are plenty available. Do not forget to use the correct and non-stripped or restripped versions of the libraries the ftp server depends upon.
