ReadyNAS 515 newbie upgrading from WHS
HI I have just purchased a Neetgear ReadyNAS 516 and 6 x Seagate ST4000VN000 4TB NAS HDD. (I have previously been using a HP mediaserver home server WHS which has just failed but I rescued my da...
Hello mediasurfer,
ReadyCloud service must be not ON yet, please see What is ReadyCLOUD and how do I use it with my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system? article.
Also, I suggest not updating to 6.4.0 yet.
Regards,
Thanks that worked for me.
What I can't get my head round is this. I can use my Windows 7 PC to navigate to the folders on my server, (I've now created short cuts to these.) I've added some files in the video folder. These files are visible when I logon using the admin. They also show up on my wi-fi enabled blu-ray player.
However when I logon using readycloud the folders are empty. What am I doing wrong?
Hello mediasurfer,
Do you get the same results in accessing this sme folder when you use ReadyCloud on a web browser?
Also, are you using the main ReadyCloud account when accessing it?
Regards,
Yes,I have signed into readycloud on a web browser both on my PC and on my ipad.
In the home tab: I can see the folders on the left and my system on the right hand pane. When I click on the folders they appear on the right hand pane but I see no contents
In the manage tab: I can see my system model on the right hand pane, indicated healthy and the free space available (represents my handful of test files). Underneath are blank rows of shared folders and shared links. On the left side i see links to my readyNAS and admin page. When I click on readyNAS I get device communication failed message (this is on the same PC where my router and server are connected).
In the discover tab: no devices discovered.The other way I log in to my server is via https://<ip address>/admin/ and then once i get past "there is problem with this website’s security certificate" and enter the admin password I can se all the folders settings etc. I note that my readycloud user account appears as a user in the icloud tab.
Not sure what is going on, but i will not load any files on to the server until I have resolved it in case i need to reset it.
Hello mediasurfer,
What's the permission settings on the share hat does not show the contents through ReadyCloud?
Have you checked using ReadyCloud app too if the same results?

Hi Jenn C
Thanks for your support so far. I have now managed to gain access using ReadyCloud on a web browser by granting folder access to my readycloud account from the admin login.
All is well in this respect and I can see all of my files and upload download to my hearts content
My only concern, I just wanted to confirm with you (or somebody) that I am using the sysyem in the right wat with repect to login and accounts etc.
I half expected my newly created readycloud account to be the admin account. As it stands I am using the admin login for all these tasks. If that is how its meant to work that is fine.
In practise it must mean that I can only access the main admin page if I am at home where my LAN is.
One final point I note there is a sub-folder created from the home folder thast matches my readycloud account userename.
