Remote mount help

[vickivik]

Hi Team,

i just got my F5-421 today and i am struggling to transfer data from my other branded NAS to the TNAS. I am not able to find a way to remote mount the "other branded NAS" in TOS so i can copy my files via smb or Nfs over to my new TNAS. Please is there any app or help you can provide?

Never tried it, but it should be possible via SSH.
SSH into your TNAS with user root (the root password ist the same as the admin password)
And then

Code: Select all

mount -t nfs //REMOTE-IP:/REMOTE-DIRECTORY /WHERE-TO-MOUNT-LOCAL 

or

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs //REMOTE-IP/REMOTE-DIRECTORY /WHERE-TO-MOUNT-LOCAL

Did you synchronize your files from your old NAS to any cloud such as Google Drive and Dropbox. We do support these apps, and you can transfer the files from the could to the TNAS.

Can't you use rsync instead of NFS or SMB ?

unfortunately, rsync does not work on the other NAS (WD Mycloud).

I am not very good with ssh, so i am afraid of ruining my beautiful new NAS. I ended up copying the files manually via FTP on my laptop between both as it seemed the easiest for me. Now i am backing up to Dropbox (which is very slow)
