Set password on cRIO to protect FTP - help

[markza]

Hi,

So I'm trying to protect my 9073 cRIO from unauthorised access, and people messing with any files on it by password protecting the FTP server.

SO I find this link -> http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/21928AC49FB2379C86256BF4006307AD thinking it'd sort me out.

But on my Max 4.7.0f4, it doesn't have a 'lock' feature - its renamed to 'Set Permissions' i presume, but even so, I click that and it opens my browser to this page http://192.168.0.44:3580/#/WIFNIAuth;component/WIFNIAuthPage.dyn.xaml , and gives me this error:

Access Error: 404 -- Not Found

So now I'm confused.  It can't be hard, but for some reason, I can't figure it out.

Hope you can help

Mark

Oh, realised I needed to have NI Web-based Configuration and Monitoring installed, then it worked as in the link above.

EDIT: Pretty lame to mark your own post as a solution.  Murphy's law that just after I post the question I'd figure it out.

Wrong again it seems.  Weird, seems like I just had to sort out my network settings on the cRIO.  Dont need that installed after all.

I hadn't set my gateway and DNS properly.
