Can you confirm that I have to do this through some form of SSH? Using windows explorer, I see no root folder on my NAS even with unhidden files/folders. Must I copy these files over using the cmd or other console like program (like PuTTy)?
None of this required .... https://kb.netgear.com/26212/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Updating-Firmware Scroll down to "To locally update ReadyNAS OS 6 firmware via the Admin Page:" FMI.
Desperate to do it "manually" using SSH do as NiveditaP3 advised before. Start with downloading the https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNASOS-6.10.9-arm.zip to a shared folder like Public, do the unzip there, ...
The issue is the automatic and manual updates from the admin page are failing. So I am trying to find another way to force it to complete and hope that fixes whatever is causing the errors. I really do not want to factory reset the NAS since that also wipes the drives.
I can confirm the following steps worked for me, I have a ReadyNAS 214 and updated it in the last couple of weeks:
- Download ReadyNASOS-6.10.9-arm.zip
- Unzip on my Win10 PC, to get ReadyNASOS-6.10.9-arm.img
- Using Firefox, visit the ReadyNAS dashboard -> settings -> Install Firmware
- Browse to the .img file and select upload
- Reboot the NAS
Do you have any blockers/antivirus on your PC that could be messing up the download?
