It would be nice to be able to do file manipulations directly inside ReadyNAS GUI.We have millions of files on our ReadyNAS that come from security cameras and it takes hours to delete them over LAN access with high LAN load during this period.I think it would be much faster to select the files to be deleted inside the ReadyNAS GUI and then let it do the job.Any chance for implementing this feature ?Thanks.

firmware V4 (coming soon) has SSH shell console access, it could be done quickly using that.

Since you really doesn't want us to use SSH shell console, I must agree that a file manager would be a nice addition. Deleting small files from Vista is extremely slow (had to delete approx. 32000 files, took almost 2 days).....

yes, unless you hold down the shift key when choosing delete.Having said that.....that's normally only the case for local files. Normally remote files don't go via the trashcan. Hmmm.

Not sure if I understand the issue, I would think using FTP server, you could delete the files faster than using SMB/CIFS

Also going to a CMD/COMMAND/DOS PROMPT deleting the files would be faster than using windows exploder

:slap: :slap: Do I need to slap myself??

There is a built-in HTTP file manager. Just enable write access over HTTP and you can connect to http://<readynas> and do your magic. 8)

Is there a way to select 'copy' of a file or directory in one share and 'paste' it to another share using the http file manager?

Hello,

All is working fine but I need something more.
I need to copy huge amounts of data from an external drive connected via USB to the NAS itself.
The problem is that through the web interface you cannot copy from the USB root to the NAS' root.
How can I do that?
The obvious reason for all that is to have the copy process run on the NAS.

Thank you

You could try a frontview backup job.
