FTP Downloader
Sorry if I missed this. All of the apps I've seen are for setting up your ReadyNAS as an FTP server. Now, my downloads are located on a server in a different country. I download these onto my computer using FileZilla. At least, that's how I do it now. I'm hoping this ReadyNAS will change this.
I'm not looking for automatic downloads. What I'm looking for is a way to browse my server in the other country using my ReadyNAS (web interface?), find the files I want and start downloading them. The advantage here is that I can put my computer on sleep at night, instead of having to use FileZilla to download the files onto my ReadyNAS drives. Possible? :P

- xeltrosApprenticeYou seem to run an OS6 device, did you try the monster FTP client available in the app tab ?
- MantisAspirantIt was my understanding that it's only for FTP uploading. As such, when I log in to my server, I don't get the option to download to my ReadyNAS. The buttons are as follows:
Refresh, Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Delete, Chmod, New Folder, New File, Upload Files, Upload Folder
This is perfectly good for its own purposes. The only way to download is to click an individual file. This however downloads the file temporarily to the NAS then starts to download it from there on my browser. Which is kind of pointless for my needs, since I could download it more quickly using FileZilla.
Unfortunately, I can't find any other options. (Correct me if I'm wrong though, please do!) - xeltrosApprenticeThere still is the SSH way that I'm sure will work. Otherwise it seems that pydio is able to access FTP. https://pyd.io/administrator/workspaces ... mb-webdav/
- MantisAspirantOh, silly me, I didn't check that one. Despite showing the genie+ app marketplace as one of the great features of the 104, it seems that no apps support it, or the 100 series full stop! No wonder I couldn't find anything there. Thanks for your suggestion though. SSH would have been a bit of a nightmare. Not only do I just have a handful of experience with it, but there are literally hundreds of directories I have to go through as my file server is quite big. This would take quite a long time with a command prompt rather than a GUI.
Looks like I've got a lot to learn with this Pydio. Seems to be built for a large company infrastructure, lol. I sorted out connecting to my FTP "workspace", but not how to add my drives to the folder lists. I'll get there... eventually. :wink: - xeltrosApprenticeYes apps are in the available apps tab, I feel genie useless for the RN104.
I can't help you there, I dislike FTP except for web servers and I tend to use tar then download for those. So, I have no experience with pydio, this was just an option available that seemed to be a match for you.
