Guidelines and more / File synchronization between Widows 11 and LS210D

« Last post by csimmons32@live.com on December 02, 2023, 02:35:04 PM »

What is the best approach for this?  I already have a scheduled task for monthly images.  I’m trying to set something up so that when my Windows “Documents” folder is updated, the change is also made in the corresponding share on my NAS.  Any advice.  This task is outside of my wheelhouse.

Guidelines and more / LS210D and Windows 11 Sync Center

« Last post by csimmons32@live.com on November 30, 2023, 05:15:42 PM »

I am trying to setup a sync partnership in Windows 11 with my LS210D.  The Windows 11 Sync Center says it might not be able to detect it or it might be incompatible with Sync Center.  I feel like I am missing a step or setting.  Thoughts?

Honestly, if you don't have any Linux experience then put it out to paster and move on with your life.

Those guides for hacking smb2 support into the stock firmware typically target newer models, I don’t know if that can work or not with this model.

You can always try installing debian on it to get a modern version of samba, though you’d need to configure it yourself manually

Cheers, I don't know either, but won't be able to find out until I can write and save to root.
I had read a bit about Debian, but have virtually no experience of Linux, though I did put Mint on a spare desktop for emergencies if windows ever has a serious problem.
I  have two of these boxes used for my various backups configured as RAID-5 an in use from my main W10 PC via SMB-1, which I prefer to delete for obvious reasons.
Maybe I can disable the root password with a different access, such as PUTTY but I've never used it, just read about it, and I'd prefer not to brick the box.

I only recently dawned on me that I'd need to sort this out when I picked up a W10 laptop and couldn't access any of my various backups.

I also have an LS220 box which I can map OK on W11.

Do you know any good guides on running one of these on Debian; I've had a general browse about, but a bit clueless on Linux to be honest.

The units are nearly 20 years old. Stop being cheap and just buy a new one that supports modern protocols.

Storage / Write Access to root Directory on ts-htgl/r5

« Last post by peak4 on November 26, 2023, 04:24:54 PM »

Hello, I have a couple of older ts-htgl/r5 units, which I've been using for several years.
They only come with SMB-1 enabled, so need that setting in Windows 10, which isn't ideal for security reasons.
I've come across a possible fix to upgrade to SMB-2, using ACP Commander to enable SSH & set a temporary root password on the box.
When I try and log on to root using WinSCP, the password I've apparently successfully set with ACP Commander v1.5.6 (GUI) doesn't work.
I can use WinSCP to read the root directories using admin access & password fine, so it's talking to the box; I can't modify and save the files unless logged on as root, but the password is rejected.

Anyone any thoughts please, as I'd like to dispense with SMB-1 and also access these boxes via Windows 11

Thanks
Bill

Thanks, That showed that the password for access needed to be reset. If you were around the corner I'd by you a drink

Can you manually map the shares?

in Windows search type:

\\IP_Of_Terastation

and press enter.

Storage / NAS Drive not showing up on Windows 10

« Last post by EricGriffiths on November 21, 2023, 05:13:27 PM »

I have a computer that cannot be upgraded to windows 11, but I need it to have access to files on the NAS storage array.
It used to have access to the folders, but that stopped working about a month ago.
It appears to have started around the time that I updated the BIOS on the NAS Device.
It is a TS3410D Series NAS

when I connect to the storage device though the settings, It shows shows that I have 13 shared folders available to link to.

When I double click on the NAS drive in the NAS NAvigator2 application, it only shows three shares, and they are all "[Offline Share]"

The SMB in the NAS is set up to: Lower = SMB1; Upper = SMB3

SMB 1.0 is fully enabled on the client computer,

On my windows 11 laptop, I have no problem in seeing and reconnecting to any of the shares.

Any help would be appreciated.
