Copying from ReadyNAS to USB

Welcome to the Community!
Have you checked the logs why the copying of file stopped? Have you tried reformatting the USB drive on the NAS? It would be best if you can check on the logs or check if there were any errors showing up after it stopped copying the data.
Have you tried drag and drop? IMO, copying it thru your Computer is the easiest way but if your USB drive is already connected on the NAS there shouldn't be a problem with that. You may want to try reinserting the USB Drive on the NAS do the copy again.

Hi Marc_V and thanks for the quick response.
1. I have checked the logs and there is nothing to indicate that the copying started, or stopped, for that matter.
2. I have tried drag and drop from within Windows Explorer (is that what you meant?) but that is very slow: NAS > wireless > LAPTOP > wireless > USB... I would have hoped that with the USB plugged directly into the NAS, I could copy directly.
3. I formatted the USB in the NAS as FAT32. No change.
