Software => HFS ~ HTTP File Server => Topic started by: selkov on August 23, 2008, 12:55:26 AM

I am using a network attached storage drive.
When i browse to it to add files from within HFS i can do so ok.
But if i try to add a real folder or a virtual folder from the NAS it will not even see the directory structure.
It sees the NAS drive but it does not expand to any folders!
Can you help?
-
where is HFS running?
how do you normally access your NAS? drive letter? which one?
-
The HFS server is running on a dedicated PC @ address 192.168.0.7.
The NAS is running @ address 192.168.0.8
I can MAP the drive to any letter I wish or access it via a web browser by 1p or name [NasDrive1]
Also if it is not mapped it is accessible through the network segment of the file explorer as they are both in the same work group.
-
I guess you mean you can access the NAS trough the windows' file sharing.
I shared a folder "upload" on my own computer "2510p", so the path is \\2510p\upload.
Then i entered the network explorer, in 2510p, and drag&dropped the "upload" folder on HFS, as virtual folder. It works, and it can be expanded to see what's inside.
Then i made another try: i mapped that folder to drive N: and, from "my computer", i drag&dropped on HFS. The story was the same: it works.
Is there anything i'm missing?
-
Is 2510p located on a different pc?
The NAS drive has its own mac address and own ip address.
-
2510p is the name of my own pc, that is the only PC used for the test
-
I think that may be where the issue lies.
The NAS is seen as a separate PC.
I tried to map a drive of a third pc and it also did the same thing.
Might it be with the delay that the mapped drive has to read from the other device and HFS times out?
-
i didn't understand: did it work with the third PC or did it give you the same problem?
-
It did not work when mapping a drive for a different pc [the third] nor the nas.
-
ok i will test asap using 2 PCs
-
That is very nice of you.
Thanks.
