If you have just configured your MUD or have replace the USB Drive and find that you can via the MUD, see the connected USB Drive but Can't see any content (Files & folders etc.), then this will be because your USB Drive has more than one Partition.
Connect the USB Drive to a PC and use 'Computer Management' then ' Disk Management' to see the Partitions on the USB Drive. You may be able to delete the additional Partitions and re-format the USB Drive; otherwise you may need to use a third party Disk Manager such as EaseUS Partition Master Free.
Although you can access your MUD via its Host name , it is important to provide your MUD with a fixed IP to ensure reliable connectivity and easier access via the Internet
