UNRAR request message ?

Post by shadytree »

I have a large file that has finished downloading but has failed to UNRAR. Is there a quick way of sending a message to my NAS server to UNRAR this file?

Open a shell prompt and type:
  cd THE_RIGHT_FOLDER
  unrar x FIRST_RAR_FILE_NAME

You managed to get SABnzbd running on your NAS?
I assume you know how to open a shell connection to it.
How else did you get it installed?

Didn't mean to ask a seemingly simpleton question but my QNAP NAS installed the app by it's simple easy to follow upload feature. No shell connection was open that was apparent to me. If you can point me in the direction or links where I can learn these things, I won't ask again. thx

The most popular method is to install the famous PUTTY program
and then let it make an SSH connection to the IP address of the NAS using port 22.

Putty: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html

I think that the rest of your questions should go to http://forum.qnap.com/
as I am not familiar the the QNAP's.

OK so got PuTTY installed and gonna give this a bash. Tried entering the code but not sure I have the file structure correct?

Directory is:

\\Share\Public\Movies

File is:

testMovie.rar

So how would I enter that please ?

You need the local Linux path, not the Windows notation.
Please google for more info on this.
