PUPPY9.5 CONFIG nas

Can someone tell me how to config puppy9.5 for NAS USB.
Thank you.

What do you mean by "for NAS USB"? Do you want to run Puppy from USB or use USB drives as the NAS?

Do you want to use CIFS/samba or nfs file sharing?

What else?

Its very simple what I want really.
I want my usb flash drive on my router to give me more storage space.
So long as it is sharing any will be ok I suppose.
Thank you. Ray.

Not all that familiar with Puppy but it has a few utilities under networking to find public shares on the network, pnethood, yassm samba share search and yassm share mounter. pnethood found my NAS but not the browseable pulic shares.

yassm share search found and you could use the share mounter but I did not play with them. Enter the credentials for username, password, share name etc.

Manually mounting worked too from the command line.

Code:

mount -t cifs //router_IP_address/share_name /mnt/point -o vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,username=your_name

You will prompted for your NAS username and password or if none use the guest option. I am guessing your router is still using CIFS version 1.0.

I did pretty much the same with the 'kennels' a couple of years ago; a pair of SanDisk Cruzer Ultra 'Fit' 128 GB drives plugged into our old router's USB ports. Samba did the job; more specifically, a lightweight fork of Samba called Samba-TNG, specially compiled/built for Puppy.

Make sure you've configured your router's firewall to allow Samba operation. You can find Samba-TNG here, on the old, 'archived' forums:-
