Goodreader and local shared drives

[Politenessman]

Sadly, despite three emails so far, not a word from the Goodreader folks.
Not sure if they are incompetent or ignoring me.
I'll keep going ............

I finally got a response from the Goodreader folks.
Apparently their app only looks for WebDav shares, and it won't see anything else.

I did some extensive testing last night using the different sharing methods on Win7 and trying to get goodreader to see them with no luck. I notice you got an answer about WebDav so that is confirmation.

Cerberus FTP is a good, lightweight solution and you can point it to the same shared directory. Download information and links for Cerberus FTP Server

I run a NAS device at home with a built-in FTP server and I point port 21 on my router to it, so I can get to my device from where ever I am on any device via FTP.
