    not sure section for this or if will make sense but anways...

    I'm on Eircom Fibre broadband with the F2000 Modem.
    I have an external HardDrive plugged into the USB port on this modem.

    THe modem allows you to share this then via Samba or FTP...Samba share was working so then was running auto sync from my C: drive on laptop to this external over the Eir WIFI network..(freefilesync software)
    (so i have backup of movies...photo's...files etc on external)

    The samba share stopped working month or 2 back...presumably due to Windows 10 update AARRGGHhHH so auto Sync failing.
    been troubleshooting to no avail...

    So the FTP share on the Modem will work can connect from PC. But syncbackfree the only free software cud find for ftp and doesn't handle anonymous FTP...so then creates the files under a user which don't want...just want straight open copy... :mad:

    so looking for free sync software that will handle anonymous FTP (or another suggestion)...

    1. Mount the FTP as a mapped drive in windows
    2. Run Synctoy to that drive

    cheers I had tried that, the ftp location it says can't access when try to add it as mapped network drive :
    ftp://192.168.1.254/etc..

    It needs to be shared so set the folder as shared with external plugged into PC..not sure if stills will be shared when plugged back into modem

    It will let you add as Network Location but can't see that folder that appears under any of the sync programs..
