RT-AX86U cannot access harddrive

[Madfable]

Hi, I have turned on FTP so I can access my harddrive I have connected to it. But when I login it says FTP FOLDER ERROR - Windows cannot access this folder.

I can see the harddrive and all the files in the router settings. So what gives?

All I want is to be able to access my hard drive from my study and my laptop in my workshop. They are both on the same router in the same building. I don't need anything fancy. But I have tried a bunch of suggestions from other places and nothing is working.

Did you already try to disable TLS support?

When I do that it does show folders, but nothing actually works or is usable. Should I try samba instead? ALthough when I do try samba when I put in my credentials it says I do not have access to that hard drive.

Yes please do try Samba.  I have Samba with allow Guest Login enabled on the GT-BE98.
