AVM router allow to share the local storage from an USB stick or local USB disk  in the local network. The following page describes how to access the share from a Linux system.
 

First of all install smbfs 

 
sudo apt-get install smbfs
 
Now create following line in /etc/fstab:
 
//192.168.0.1/Serverix/ /media/fritz    cifs    noauto,noatime,user,utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.192.168.0.1.ftpuser 0 0
 
Assumptions: AVM router has IP 192.168.0.1, the server name is Serverixand the drirectory which should be shared is called /media/fritz.
 
Now the access credentials have to be defined in  /etc/samba/auth.192.168.0.1:
 
username=ftpuser
password=secret
 
In this example the ftp password is secret. To protect this password change the access rights so only root is able to read the password:
 
sudo chmod 600 /etc/samba/auth.192.168.0.1.ftpuser
