Hi everyone, I would like to copy files from an usb drive connected to the NAS (turning off PC, so no SMB shares)

is there a way to do it? web explorer could be a solution but i am not able to make usb visible...

Thanks

Hi blusa,

I do not understand well your issue.

If you did not change the USB mount mode, your usb drive should be mounted as a share. Then you should be able to see it either in web-explorer (if you enabled web access) or in Finder (as samba share or as afp share (if you enabled AFP server and afp access on the usb share)

if it is not the case maybe you have an unsupported fs on your USB drive

Note: did you have install the last rollup patch ?

Hi Jocko, thanks for answering.

The problem is that i can see the usb drive in File SHare Management

but not in Web explorer even if i added it in Available shares from internet

And yes, last patch installed!

Hi

I can reproduce your issue and it is a regression (it is a detected bug on a previous version and fixed :scratch )

I go to send you a patch

Here the patch

Store the attached tarball in fvdw share and do

Code: Select all

tar -xf /direct-usb/fvdw/fvdw-sl-17.0-patch-USB-webexplorer.tar.gz -C /

Disable/enable again web-explorer server
Then you should see now the USB share in web-explorer gui

If it is ok I go to release a patch

---edit---
There was an error with the command line (missing the sharename in the path)

Jocko, thanks a lot and sorry for the late feedback.

What's the control code of this one?

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, didn't read carefully your post, it's not a regular zip patch, i am going to apply it following instructions

EDIT2: Great! Problem solved! Thanks again!

Ok Thank you for the feedback.

I go to release a new rollup patch with these new files.

Great!
But now i'm experiencing a new issue. I am able to copy/paste a single file but not a folder:

ERROR Can't Cut/Copy/Paste a folder (returned by web-explorer)

Yes it is the expected behaviour. See web-explorer help page :

- Manage files if the administrator has allowed :

At the bottom of file list, a bar is activatedand allows you to :
...
Copy Copy the selected files (does not work with folders)
copy will be made in the current folder with the action «Paste»
Cut Cut (preparing a move) the selected files (does not work with folders)
Moving will be made in the current folder with the action «Paste»

But I can easily implement it

Hi Jocko, thanks again, you are very helpful but i solved using ssh and cp.

Keep going, your custom firmware saved my old NAS! :applause
