    Using a hard drive for FTP access on an access point?


    Hi, I have a couple of routers being used as access points in the house and they both have USB ports and a functionality to support FTP. Which would be useful if I wanted to access the odd document remotely. I know NAS drives do it better but they are very expensive. So my plan is to get hold of a basic usb hard drive and connect it to one the access points. Can this way of connecting support FTP or does FTP connected drive have to be connected to the main router? Thanks, Wayne

    :)

    Accessing a Hard Drive...

    You can boot from Norton Ghost and clone that disk to your hard drive. Then boot normally install virtual machine with xp and from that machine access cloned drive. It's a complex but safe process.

    Accessing a Hard Drive...

    ...from a dead laptop.

    My girlfriend's laptop recently s**t the bed, and she has a lot of photos she would like to retrieve from it. I used a USB to IDE cable to try, but it's a no go. Her drive has Windows XP Home on it, and my system has Win7 x64. The computer recognizes the drive, but it wants me to initialize it, which I think may format it.

    I don't know if it's formatted FAT32 or NTFS. Are there any suggestions on accessing the drive to pull all this data off of it?
