Access to USB disk via network - help!

[maelzoid]

I am trying to access the USB drive attached to my Pi2 via my network (to transfer new music to it) and it won't allow me. I know this has been covered in previous threads and I've read through them thoroughly but am still stuck.

I understand I need to edit the udevil.config file but I cannot for the life of me find this file to edit it.

I understand it is located here: /etc/udevil/udevil.conf but cannot find the /etc/ folder either.

I have already got dev mode switched on, so that is not the problem. Please can someone help find the /etc/ file.

Setup:
Raspberry Pi2 running RuneAudio release version: 0.4 (build: beta-20160313)
USB hard drive formatted to ExFat
iMac via local network.

Janui, thanks so much for your response.

I have followed your instructions and edited the udevil.conf file. It all seems to look good, and when I look at the file now, the 'rw' is in place. However, when I try to access the USB HD drive from my mac I still get the following error:

The folder “WD” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.

And the icon for the drive has the little red 'no entry' sign by it.

Any hewlp appreciated.

I don't think the network is the problem as I can log on to RuneAudio > Musicstore and see all the folders there, including the "Webradio" folder and I can write to that one perfectly fine. It's just the sub folder within USB that is read-only. I have just added a second USB thumb drive with music on it, and that is behaving exactly the same

Hey, that works!!!!!

I had to download a separate FTP app (forklift) to make it happen, but now I'm up and running.

Janui, thank you so much for your help and patience with this. It is most appreciated.
