Access Files from the Internet

Below are step-by-step instructions on how to access files from the Internet from your USB drive or external hard drive that is connected to your
DIR-866L router:
Step 1 - Enable SharePort Web Access
Under SharePort Web Access, check Enable SharePort Web Access.
The default port for HTTP is 8181 and HTTPS (secure) is 4433. You can
change the port(s) for HTTP or HTTPS.
Step 2 - Create a User Account
Under User Creation, enter a User Name and Password. Verify Password
and then click Add/Edit.
Step 3 - Configure your Access Path
Under User List, click the Edit icon for the user you just created. You will
see an Append New Folder window with the name of the new user in
the User Name field. Click on Browse to locate the folder on your USB
storage device or external hard drive for which you want to assign
access to the user.
Step 4 - Save Settings
If you want to add more users, repeat steps 2 and 3. Once you are
finished, click the Save Settings button at the top of the screen to
save your settings.
Note: The Storage Device Link (at the bottom) will display the URL(s)
you can use to connect.
If you want to use HTTPS to get a secure connection, you must type
in HTTPS:// instead of HTTP://. Remember to type the port number
after the colon. For example, if you selected HTTPS and changed the
port to 3200, and your WAN IP address is 1.2.3.4, then you would enter
HTTPS://1.2.3.4:3200 to connect.
