Hi to everybody, especially the good will people
I managed to set up an Ubuntu 14.04 connection extremely fast to my WDMyCloud ( as in Windows assigning a drive letter to the NAS ) following this post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dulio-...b_5121961.html

with these three comands
$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common
$ showmount -e
$ sudo mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.1.xxx:/nfs /home//nfs/

Problem is that the public part works great, but the one protected by password, does not open up and a warning states I have not the proper permission.Therefore I am stuck there.
I believe the third command is to be changed
$ sudo mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.1.xxx:/nfs /home//nfs/
inserting somewhere the id ( John ) and the password ( 12345)
Normally, going through thr network there is a pop up window asking for id and password to proceeed.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

I use mine frequently, and wrote up a guide:

Looks like you're trying to mount it via NFS, which is great if you're on the same network, but isn't so good over the Internet. SSHFS is far better, in my opinion..encrypted, and lets you mount it the same over Internet as you would on the local LAN. Since I've been using things, I have NOT been able to get the device to allow mounting for any user other than root, and see anything but the public shares.

I am afraid you are right and mine is only a local network. Thanks

PS I have been 30 minutes hanging around to find the Add to reputation, but unfortunjately I did not succeed.

Very welcome...glad it worked for you.
