Hi, I have Pi4 with latest Volumio. Have a USB stick connected to it with audio files.
If I need to add new content, I have to remove the stick, copy files to it, and stick it back in.
Is there a way to get to it without touching it? Like put files onto the USB stick plugged into my Pi4 from a computer on the network?
not working (says wrong password).
I can access it as guest, but it only gets me to /USB and it’s not writable (I can see it but can’t even open it to browse).
I don’t have a windows machine handy (will bring one from work tonight to test), but I was able to login to it from an android phone (through an smb client) with those credentials. I can access the directory (smb://10.0.0.40) and there I can see all the right directories - NAS, USB etc. I can open and browse the USB directory, but was not able to copy files to it (like it’s read only).
but nothing changed.
Also, my USB is formatted to exfat, which I read somewhere may be read-only under Pi. So I’ll try an ntfs stick, which Volumio seems to have good drivers for.
was i talking about smb nope i was talking about the usb and yes you can get in all
sftp as protocol, your pi’s ip with port 22, name:volumio password:volumio
On Windows, you can access it by typing \Volumio\usb in the file explorer. The path should be the same on Mac, although maybe the \ at the beginning is specific to Windows. In that case you would need to find out how MacOS points to the local network.
Edit: it should be a double back slash, but the forum is deleting the second one.
