Accessing Network Drive (USB key plugged into a router)
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 12:16 pm
Hi,
I'm a complete beginner with the Raspberry Pi so please go easy! I'm trying to learn a bit about the command line and am enjoying learning a new skill.
Anyway, I have an Asus DSL-N55U router which you can plug a hard drive into and use as network storage. I can connect to it from my mac on the same network (through Samba I think) as well as another windows machine. I can connect to it from my Raspberry Pi through the GUI but can't get it to work on the command line.
I have installed smbclient and am trying the following command:
smbclient //192.168.1.1/DSL-N55U
There is no password to access the drive however when I type this it ask's me for the pi's password then says error.
Does anyone know how to connect to this? All the info on the web is about the other way i.e. connecting a hard drive to a pi and sharing that!
Thanks
