However, i have doubts about security.</P><P>My main question is: Can any other plusnet user access files on my docking station when it's up and running and connected to adsl router's usb port ?</P><P>Is there any actions i can take to protect files and folders ?</P> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 12:10:57 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826762#M27993 aghayevi 2021-09-04T12:10:57Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826772#M27994 <DIV style="background: #EDF3F5; padding: 10px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 10px; border: 2px solid #CFD8DC; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 8px 8px 7px #676D70; font-size: 10pt;"><BR /> <P style="font-size: 10pt;"><STRONG>Moderators Note</STRONG></P> <BR /> <P style="font-size: 10pt;">This topic has been moved from ADSL Broadband&nbsp;to My Router&nbsp;</P> </DIV> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 12:31:38 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826772#M27994 dvorak 2021-09-04T12:31:38Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826773#M27995 Only devices on your local network can see the usb device.<BR /> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 12:32:39 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826773#M27995 dvorak 2021-09-04T12:32:39Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826777#M27996 <P>So, do i understand rightly that any request from other of local network won't get in and be dropped by your firewall, etc. ?</P> <P>Btw, is it possible to password protect files over usb share ?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 12:51:42 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826777#M27996 aghayevi 2021-09-04T12:51:42Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/usb1-on-pnhub1/m-p/1826786#M27999 More or less, yes.
