First for "thanks" press button "like" ;).

Off course, install winscp and putty and just log via telnet(putty) into the box,put root and Your password (if You seted it). After it type chmod 777 /media/usb2 (after chmod 777 have 1 space!) "mnt" is shourtcut and can not access,so put "media"
Work 1000% :). Give me feedback.
