Hello,
Newbie to the TerraMaster system.

I am setting up a new F4-210 .
Windows 10.

Using the DLNA app, I can watch films on my smart tv, that bit I've solved.

I am trying to transfer folders and files from an old Netgear NAS. Hundreds of folders.
So how do I move these folders to the F4-210 in a drag and drop motion?
I can access the video files from 'MY PC'.
I also need to read and write data from programs running on the PC.

For a large volume of files and folders, you should really use rsync to get them from your old device to the new TNAS.

Alternatively, you could use SFTP to log into your Netgear and TNAS individually, then drag & drop from one session to the other.

Mimic your existing user configuration from the Netgear onto the TNAS (use two separate browser sessions to have them side by side), if you are trying to do an in-place device change.

Hello,
The following two ways can help you move folders:
1. If both of your nas support the rsync backup function, you can transfer files between the two nas through rsync backup.

2. If some nas do not support rsync backup, you can use the computer to access two nas at the same time, first copy the files to be transferred from the old nas to the computer, and then upload the files to another nas.

Thank you both.
