Please help a newbee :(

Hello, i am new here, please bare with me.

I might also be stupid...

 

Long story short:

ReadyNas RN104. Only app installed is OpenERP. What i need is to get acces to the OpenERP files so i can

download to my PC and edit some jpg files and then put them back in the OpenERP folder (seems to be /web/images/).

 

Now, can somebody please write a succesion of things i need to do, like for idiots..?

 

Example:

1. Activate XYZ service on your NAS

2. Download Putty

3. login to your NAS using ZXY

4. etc

5. download your jpg files

6. edit them

7. put them back in their respective folders

8. done

 

Please?... :(

Thank you!

 

  • Start by accessing the NAS data volume with SMB/CIFS.  The default volume name is "data".

     

    That is, \\nasipaddress\data in file explorer (Windows).  You need to be using NAS admin credentials (username=admin, password=NAS admin password).

     

    Alternatively, you can map the volume to a windows drive letter using the command line.

    net use * /delete

    net use t: \\nasipaddress\data /user=admin password

     

    Then look in the .apps folder (hidden, but you can navigate into it).  That is where the apps are supposed to store their data, so your jpgs are likely in there.

      Thank you Stephen,

      that worked great. Can i bother you with one more question, please?

       

      In the "free apps" i have with my RN104, i have OpenERP there. But as i found out, i can install manually another debian package,

      otherwise said, a new version of OpenERP. So i have downloaded odoo_8.0.deb and installed it on my NAS.

       After a while, i've got the message OpenERP8.0 installed succesfully. All things are great till now.

       

      But once i am done with this, where i can find the new "manually" installed app?

      Cannot seem to be able to find it / launch it anywhere.

       

      Can you please help with this too?

       

      Thank you!

        OpenErp is not an app I'm familiar with.  Likely it installed to the OS partition - you need to enable SSH and use putty to access it.
