wont copy Folders & Files to RN

Hi all

I am a Professional Photographer I am a complete Newbie with ReadyNAS I bought one with the intention of copying all my Photographs from over the Years onto it I have made a folder on my Nas called Kensphotographbackup and tried to drop the folders from my HD on my computer straight onto it (like it says) but nothing is happening !! Perhaps I haven't got the settings right ?
I have also tried to copy the folders via Filezilla but it wont let me I can copy 1 photo at a time by dragging and dropping but I need to be able to copy complete folders.
Please help !!!!!!

Thank You 😞

How are you connected to the NAS?

Via \\ip.address.of.nas in Windows Explorer?

Via your web browser?

What version of ReadyNAS OS are you running?

I have sorted it thanks I did a factory reset.

I am connecting USB - USB from computer to Nas and dragging and dropping into the folder I made on the ReadyNAS window (that says drag and drop files or folders here to upload)

I have a ReadyNAS 104 with 2 hard drives in a 4TB and a 6TB

Do you have a router or switch to which you could connect both the pc and Nas; using Ethernet cables.
The way you have connected is not really the way the NAS is supposed to be connected.

Hi vandermerwe

Thanks for your support I have it sorted now ? (I think) when I go into my computer and network I see my naz there and can just drag and drop my photos into the folders like it is a HD.

Brill as I said I am a newbie with this nas but slowly getting around it
