Moving files between shares
I'm moving files around on my ready nas, having setup backup jobs to copy all my data from an external USB drive to my shares. Problem is, it's shockingly slow, taking hours to move folders of a few...
Had the NV+ for 4 whole days... still fighting it. I'm attempting to move files from the default \media share to newly created shares on a NV+:
- Tried to do it via Windows Explorer, however it wants to move/copy it via my PC (NAS>PC>NAS) and is slooow. Happy to do it as a last resort, but surely there's a better way... so I did some investigationing.
- Tried to Map Network Drive in Vista, also using Command Prompt (net use X: \\nas.ip.address.thing\c /user:admin) but get a 'System error 67 has occurred. - The network name can't be found.' Also tried in XP and got excited as it asked for the password, but the celebrations were premature as I still got 'System error 53 has occurred. - The network path was not found.' I'm able to create a Mapped Drive of the \media share, so hopefully that means I'm doing something right. I note that \c (root) is not currently available as a share when viewing \\nas.ip.address.thing\ in Windows Explorer.
- Tried to do a Local Upload and Verify of EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin using Frontview, but all I get is a long wait and 'Local file upload failed'.
- Tried checking for Remote updates and it says I'm running the latest firmware (RAIDiator 4.1.8).
- Tried giving it the frowning of a lifetime... surprisingly that didn't help either.
- I read that you can move files between shares by setting up a backup from share-to-share... hmmm, 2nd last resort.
At. Wit's. End.
Any ideas?
