FTP/Telnet access to WNR2000v3

[JamestheLeet]

Basically, I want to put some files in my router for the hell of it, and I don't understand how I would go about doing these things.
Also, the router firmware is Netgear Genie v1.1.1.58

I guess I can install stuff.
I'm actually going to re-write a few html files.

Youve made that clear like 3 loving times. What im asking is what can you put on there? What sorts od applications / whatever and what can they do for you?

Honestly, I don't now, but it has like 3 megabytes of free space, and some spare ram, and I want to utilize that space.

Sounds like a plan to me.

In order to use that space you're probably going to flash the router with some new firmware. You can't really connect in the way you're suggesting to a standard router.

I don't know of any that will let you store files locally. Look through this list. The only ones I can think of are Untangle, pfsense, or stonewall but those are fully featured operating systems intended to be run on a desktop or rack mounted computer with multi-port networking cards.

EDIT: A lot of them will let you access the root file system. OpenWRT is one example. See if it's compatible with your router. Storing files on a consumer router is probably not a good idea. If you just want to see if you can do it, go for it, but if you're hoping to actually put that space to use for backups or something then you're going to want some more hardware to work with. See this link for some of the crazy stuff you can do with routers.

DD-WRT. Also, I think that there actually is some official application for patching (some) Netgear routers to allow arbitrary telnet access. For ASUS routers it's in the control panel.
