Hello,
I have a working solution.
You can create a mount point (example USB_stick) in your share on the nas. This mountpoint can be redirected to the /USB folder (folder where the usb-devices are mounted under)
If you enable Http/s of the nas share, You can move files trough and from the usb-disk to the share, controlled trough favorite web browser. and they are copied locally on the nas. The obvious advantage is speed of course.
Steps i have taken,
Step 1 Turn on the http/s sharing tab of your shared folder trough Frontview (check to disable webdav).
Step 2 shh to your nas
Step 3 browse to your nas share.(example)
# cd /c/Media
Step 4 create a Folder named USB_stick
# mkdir USB_stick
Step 5 Create a Script that wil auto mount this folder to the /USB folder
# nano /etc/init.d/usbmount
copy lines below in script
----------------
#!/bin/sh
mount --rbind /USB /c/Media/USB_stick
exit
exit 0
----------------
cd /etc/init.d/
chmod +x usbmount
Setp 6 autorun script at startup
#sudo update-rc.d usbmount defaults
The only downside is that you have to restart the nas when you attach the usb- device for this to work, this is not a biggy, you are standing next to the nas of course.
But if anyone have any sugestions.. :D
