To set up BarracudaDrive (now commonly known as FuguHub) for secure remote file access, you need to turn your local computer or network-attached storage into a private cloud server. 1. Download and Install the Server
Download the installer: Get the official package for your operating system from the FuguHub Download Page.
Run with admin privileges: Execute the file as an administrator.
Complete the wizard: The script automatically installs the application, binds it to standard web ports (⁄443), and opens your browser.
Configure Windows Services (Optional): If you need to access external network shares, modify the Windows Service properties. Change the service log-on credentials from the default “Local System” to a specific authorized Windows user account. 2. Run the Initial Configuration Wizard
Access the wizard: Open a browser and go to http://localhost.
Set admin credentials: Create a strong master username and password to protect the server dashboard.
Map directories: Select the local storage folders or external hard drives you want to make accessible remotely. 3. Secure Remote Access & Network Settings
Enable HTTPS: Ensure SSL/TLS is active to encrypt all files and login credentials traveling over the internet.
Configure port forwarding: Access your home router’s settings page. Forward external port 445 or 443 (HTTPS) to the internal IP address of your BarracudaDrive host machine.
Set up DDNS: If your ISP changes your home IP address, configure a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) name. This gives you a permanent domain name (e.g., myhome.ddns.net) to access your server from outside. 4. Connect to Your Files Remotely
Web File Manager: Open any modern web browser from a remote machine, type in your public domain/IP, and log in to drag, drop, download, or stream your files seamlessly.
Secure WebDAV mapping: Map BarracudaDrive directly as a network drive letter in Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder.
Use the Session URL feature: For public or un-trusted computers, use FuguHub’s unique WebDAV Session URL. Logging out of the web browser will instantly break the network drive link, ensuring no residual data or access is left behind on the public machine.
