Hi guys,
I recently purchased a WD mybook 500GB World Edition.
I've managed to name the device, via the browser GUI, assigned it a static IP, set up shared folders and users and I can see the mybook on my LAN, plus I can map folders from the mybook in My Computer.
However, I'm having problems with remote sharing with my friends. I've signed up to Mionet, and sent invites via email to some friends to start sharing my folders created in mybook device for instance, the PUBLIC folder.
Now, they can access some files, like images and software, but they cannot see music (mp3) or video (avi) files I place in the folder...according to WD, music/video files are prohibited due to copyright infringements.
What I want to know is, is there a workaround for this? Is there an easier way to remotely share files like music or any file in general with friends without having to use the infernal Mionet software?
Thanks all.
