KRONOS SSD as Network Drives

Post by **Sharp** » Wed May 29, 2013 5:06 pm

Hi all.
Some if you might find this easier than using an FTP Client. I recorded a short little video to show how you can add the internal SSD of the KRONOS to your PC as Network Drives.

Thankks! Now I consider the wifi mod is worth to try, FTP was rather tedious

Great video - with all those helpful text features.

Thanks

That's a great trick and probably there is a way for Apple OSX users to add FTP address as network hard drive.

Thanks Sharp - great post

This is still FTP; Sharp's video (thanks, Sharp!) describes how to use Windows Explorer as an FTP client. This is mentioned in the Parameter Guide as well, under 0–5: Network -> FTP:

"Recent versions of Windows support FTP directly within Windows Explorer; once the volume is mounted, it may be used just like any other disk connected to the computer. There are also third‐party FTP client applications, some of them free, which may offer different features."

FTP's friendliness or lack thereof is really all about the client; some are very nice, and others may not be quite so friendly. Personally, I use Transmit on Mac OS X.

Note, btw, that if your system supports zero-configuration networking, you don't have to enter an FTP address at all. Also from the Parameter Guide:

"The KRONOS supports zero‐configuration networking, including Bonjour (for Mac OS X and Windows) and Avahi (for Linux). Bonjour is installed on Mac OS X computers by default, and is available as a free download for modern versions of Windows.
"With zero‐configuration networking, the KRONOS FTP server will appear automatically in any Bonjour or Avahi‐enabled FTP software, by name, without the need to enter a numeric IP address.
"If your operating system supports zero‐configuration networking, but your FTP software does not, you can still avoid numeric IP addresses by using the .local domain:
ftp://[username]@[hostname].local
"For [username] and [hostname], use the User name and Host name shown on the Network page. You can configure both of these as you wish."

Best regards,

Dan

Sure, although as mentioned in the manual the built-in FTP support is read-only:

"Mac OS X supports FTP volumes as read‐only disks within the Finder. For full read and write support, a third‐party FTP client application is required; a variety of free and paid applications are available."

Personally I use Transmit.

Great free option is CyberDuck

Yes, I also use Cyberduck for FTP transfer on Mac

But if you want a seamless integration with any OS without configuring FTP access, getting third party tools or whatever...

This is still FTP

Well, of course I should've guessed it from "FTP://..." But thank you anyway for the explanation!

MarPabl What sort of a stick is there on your pic? Is it wifi? any link to specs, please?

Yeah, USB flash drive is simple... but leaves you having to do all the navigation and file manipulation from the Kronos interface. This is somewhere where I could see full screen desktop and mouse drag-and-drop being a lot more efficient.

That's a simple and plain USB flash memory drive

Just got around to setting this up an thought it deserves a bump.

Thanks Sharp.
