Many thanks for the instructions for connecting Goodreader and uploading from Goodreader...worked like a charm! It's pretty cool to be able to upload from the iPad to a USB storage device!

The CloudFTP continued....
Hi Gab, et al.
I'm continuing my foray into the workings of this fine device. So far I am able to see files on the CloudFTP using the "FB" app, both on the ad hoc and the local network from my iPad. Also, I can connect using "FileZilla" from the PC.
However, I think I have not understood or misunderstood the meaning of NAS and FTP. What I was/am looking for is a way for my PC programs to use the attached storage as if it were directly attached. That is plugged into the computer USB port. I'm beginning to think that this is not possible. My idea was that my regular programs could continue working and modifying and the iPad could read the files as needed.
Anyway, I am still happy with the unit and will continue seeing what it can do. I look forward to whatever you find out about this unit. A real APP from the developers would be great.
As always thanks for your work,

Mini_mi,
Thanks for the input. I never thought of something a straight forward as mapping it. However....
I still cannot get it to connect on Win 7 or XP. I tried the "Add network place wizard" on Xp with ftp://ftp.icloudftp.c and a couple other combinations. Win 7 just sees it as an unknown device that is not working. it works OK from the iPad.
Any further help you can offer would be great.

Brilliant informative thread Gabriel.
Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to set it all out in detail.
You have inspired me to order a CloudFTP to experiment with.
Good luck with your own experiments.

It's just a matter of sharing, I can't remember how I discovered this but I'm thinking that it was probably mentioned by another forum member, so we all help in one way or another......I might be biased but this forum is just grrrrrreat!
