Connecting to RN 422 with arduino

Hello!

I'm working with an Arduino-based project and am wondering how to connect to the NAS to share files.

I know very little about how a NAS works but have found that I can set up the Arduino as an FTP client. If I enable FTP in the NAS, will the Arduino FTP client be able to write a file to the NAS?

 

Thank you beforehand!

Yes, assuming you've installed an FTP client on the Arduino.  You just have to enable the protocol under System and enable it and set permissions for the share under Shares.

Much more handy for direct file access (ft is pure transfer) would be either using SMB (CIFS) or alternatively NFSv3 for simplicity. Depends on security, preferences, ...

I'm afraid that it's not possible with the Arduino. However, I'm thinking about connecting the 4 Arduinos to a Raspberry pi instead. From what I've read so far, the raspberry pi(running Linux) has better support for network shares.

Yes, a RasPi can support SMB and NFS network shares.  Unfortunately, as you said, there is no such support for the Arduino directly.
