[Help] can't access through windows file explorer [SOLVED]

[echemh]

First of all will say not sure if this the right place to post this. If not would be appreciated to point me to the right place.

I was having issues trying to access from the File Explorer window. Can login via the web portal.
I keep getting blocked by windows security even when I login with correct info can't get in.
I spent hours browsing and trying to figure it out. I finally reset all my settings and still being blocked.
I can access the main parent folder which shows all the sub folders but as soon as I try to enter one the windows security window pops up asking for login info. I enter my username and password and it gives me the access denied error.
Also just noticed I was able to access via VLC on my FIrecube but now it giving me login error there too.
Could it be a problem with my password? I used letters numbers and symbols combined to make it.

Any help would be appreciated.

HI,
You wrote Windows File Explorer and that basically means SMB access (the old name was CIFS)
The control is on two levels in TOS... This is example from v6 Control Panel, but the other versionis looks similar.

Go to the Shared Folder setting [1] and for any specific folder (the example is for Shared), select it [2] and validate your user permissions [4]


Move to SMB tab [5]

select the Client Rule [6] and open the rule settings [7]
The above rule example is allowing the Clients from any network, probably is good to start like that before to tighten it.

Don't forget the [Confirm] button in the end and share the result here

Cheers

I found the first step you mentioned but can't find the second step




I tried going to the above and was able to change the permissions of each folder.
I did not see what you were showing me for SMB in there but also went into File Service in the control panel and there is a section for SMB but could not find client rule or rule setting in either place.

still having issues with windows security login popup

In the second screenshot you have on the right side

Shared Folder >

Click it to enter in the detailed setting and you'll find the SMB there.
Share a screenshot from that SMB section if you cannot figure out the rules

Cheers

This is what I find in there. I don't see it there either.

[AlAleksiev]

In the "IP address or network segment allowed to access" field just place one star [*] and confirm it

[echemh]

done and still stuck.
It something to do with login because I am having issue with the windows security popup and on my firecube on VLC and NOVA players I can't login on any of them even though I try to use the same info I use to login to the web portal.
