Section 3 - Configuration Access Files from the Internet Below are step-by-step instructions on how to access files from the Internet from your USB drive or external hard drive that is connected to your DIR-818LW router: Step 1 - Enable SharePort Web Access Under SharePort Web Access, check Enable SharePort Web Access to enable. Then enter the port(s) for HTTP or HTTPS (secure). The default for HTTP is 8181 and HTTPS is 4433. Step 2 - Create a User Account Under User Creation, enter a User Name and Password. Verify Password and then click Add/Edit. Step 3 - Configure your Access Path Under User List, click the Edit icon for the user you just created. You will see an Append New Folder window with the name of the new user in the User Name field. Click on Browse to locate the folder on your USB storage device or external hard drive for which you want to assign access to the user. Step 4 - Save Settings If you want to add more users, repeat steps 2 and 3. Once you are finished, click the Save Settings button at the very bottom to save your settings. Note: The SharePort Access Link (at the bottom) will display the URL(s) you can use to connect. Also, If you want to use HTTPS, you must type in HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// to get a secure connection. Remember to type the port number after the colon. For example, if you selected HTTPS and changed the port to 3200, and your WAN IP address is 1.2.3.4, then you would enter HTTPS://1.2.3.4:3200 to connect. D-Link DIR-818LW User Manual 53
