File Manager inside Readynas

Logged in as admin and then I can see all the shares I enabled write access. I click through the tree to the directory, where I have some undeletable files. So far great. But: It doesn't show any files in all directories (they are there, for sure). Help says: "Why does the file manager seem broken in certain directories or when copying or pasting certain files? This occurs when the web file manager does not have permission to access these files. You must access these files via another method." Nice, there is a built-in HTTP file manager, but if I want to use it, I have to use "another method". :D Is there a way to get the permission? Regards Markus

The HTTP file manager will run as user "admin" even if you logged in as another user. It's a limitation due to the service. But the effect is if the file is owned by another user and "admin" does not have access to it, you'll have some problems. Perhaps try using dbott67's suggestion of using a FTP or SCP client. For SCP, you would need to enable SSH support however.

Any way to access a private home share via HTTP file manager?

+1 on the request.

The existing http file browser is limited to working with shares on that box. This doesn't cover what I'd like to be able to do: copy files from another (non-readyNAS without rsync support) NAS onto a ReadyNAS without the read/write overhead passed through a desktop client system. If this was available, I could also then use the second interfaces on an 1100 box (and the other NAS) to keep traffic off of the production LAN.

Ummm..... +1 on the internal file manager.

Did you take a look on PHP Advanced Transfer Manager (PHP ATM) ?

http://phpatm.org/

It works on the ready Nas :)

@super-poussin:
I tried your suggestion of phpATM, and got it running (more or less). I installed it into its own "phpATM" share.

I think I'm missing one fundamental point: how did you configure it to offer your files for download? Say I wanted to make the whole contents of my "media" share available via phpATM. Would you install phpATM into the root of the "media" share? Or do something with symbolic links to make the "media" files available?

Thanks for any help!

Sounds great!

Any one got a quick 'Installing and Enabling PHP and then PHP ATM on a ReadyNAS for dummies'?

Seriously?

Thanks

I will redo the installation and post an howto :)
