Initial data: USB flash drive 32GB (EXT4) mounted on router D-Link DIR-825.

On router setup page I enabled FTP server, set port, directory and created user with password.

Laptop on Debian 12 (with XFCE).

I checked access to USB flash drive from laptop via FileZilla. It worked.

Question: What should I do in order for the USB flash drive mount automatically to my laptop on starting up the OS so I can use it.

My solution: If I understood it correctly, it should be specified in the file /etc/fstab, but I haven't yet figured out how.

While you could try to use something like curlftps, I'd suggest using ssh if available, something like this: How to auto mount an ssh file system on demand with an RSA key – Eduardo Trápani Oct 11 '23 at 03:23

You can try setting up ftp with rclone[0]. rclone can mount ftp as filesystem using fuse. [0]https://rclone.org/ftp/, [1] https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/. – davidt930 Oct 11 '23 at 05:17
