Use as WebDisk, how?

[terra]

In the Firmware Release Notes for 1.00.07 ( www.thecus.com/Downloads/N5200_Release_Note_v10007.pdf ) you can read under 'Limitations' No. 15. :

"15. WebDisk : Only UTF-8 file name is supported."

I don't know this feature and in the documentation there is nothing about that.
How can I use this under WinXP?

Hi terra,

get your glasses and read again: N5200 User's manual, chapter 6: "Using WebDisk", page 57 pp.

Sorry Andreas and thanks for your answer !

I havn't write the Question comprehensible (but now I changed the thread subject above too):

With Internet Explorer 6 you can get on File > Open > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and select the option Open as Webfolder. This doesn't work with N5200.
Select Network-Environment > Add Network Ressource > Select other Network Ressource doesn't work too.

Or (better) how can I use the WebDisk-Feature as a Network-Drive, with a real Drive-Letter?

Is it possible with third party tools?

Hi terra,

OK, now you made clear that you can read manuals and your question now is really interesting....

I just tried what you're describing and I must tell you: you're right - it doesn't work!

First of all I'm not 100% sure if Thecus really want's to support this mode of operation as I thought all the time that WebDisk is just accessing the shares using the Web browser.

But what you're (we're) trying is accessing the shares using the Windows Explorer as a Web Folder. Although this might be the same protocol WEBDav (I'm not sure about this) accessing the shares as Web Folders is not working.

Of course I tied to find out why it is not working and when I look to the apache log file I can see error messages everytime I try to connect to a share as a Web Folder. The log files are here: /opt/apache/logs.

Here are the error messages:

[Mon Feb 19 15:32:05 2007] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] script '/opt/apache/htdocs/_vti_inf.html' not found or unable to stat
[Mon Feb 19 15:32:05 2007] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] File does not exist: /opt/apache/htdocs/_vti_bin
cat: /app/fsck_flag: No such file or directory

I haven't had the time to check the Internet about these errors though.

So just now it seems that this error is only because of a problem with the apache server on the N5200.
