I'd like to create a folder on my desktop so I can just drag and drop files to my network attached storage device.

Equipment
OS: Ubuntu 11.04
Router: Netgear N600
Storage: Western Digital My Book 2TB USB

I'm trying to use Nautilus by going to File -> Connect to Server

I'm choosing Public FTP.
Here are the fields I fill out:
Server: readyshare.routerlogin.net
Port: 21
Folder: shares

Message:
Could not display "ftp://anonymous@readyshare.routerlogin.net/shares". Error: The file is not a directory
Please select another viewer and try again.

But if I put ftp://anonymous@readyshare.routerlogin.net/shares
into Firefox it takes me to the USB storage just fine.

Thanks
