• Sharing multimedia with friends and family such as MP3 files, pictures, and other

multimedia with local and remote users.

• Sharing resources on your network.

You can store files in a central location so that you do

not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files

between Macintosh, Linux, and PC computers by using the USB drive as a go-between

across the systems.

• Sharing files such as W

ord documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with

remote users.

A few common uses are described in the following sections.

Sharing Photos

You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This eliminates

the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.

 To share files with your friends and family:

1. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.

Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive

using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.

2. If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see USB

Storage Advanced Settings on page 51.

Storing Files in a Central Location for Printing

This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a

computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print

• One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.

• The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a PC, but not shared on the

network.

• The Mac and PC are not visible to each other on the network.

 To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:

1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web

browser

. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.

2. On the PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive

to the PC.

Then print the files.

Sharing Large Files over the Internet

Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The

router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the

Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the router.
