Download Folder and Network Share (FreeNAS)

Post by bhougland »

Hello-

  I have searched for all the topics related to making the file path for the completed downloads my NAS device, however, it still says "Error: cannot create complete_dir directory "\\freenas\Data\Server\VIDEO". " 

What am I doing wrong? 

I am using Vista 64.  It didn't work on my linux machine either (but after reading the comments, looks like I forgot to mount the network share).

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

I assume SABnzbd is running on the Vista system?
Does the \\freenas\Data\Server\VIDEO folder already exist on the freeNAS?
If so, have you tried something like this from the command prompt?

Code: Select all

echo test >\\freenas\Data\Server\VIDEO\test.txt
Carefully check access rights on the freeNAS.

I copied and pasted the command you wrote into the command prompt, but nothing happend.  I am not sure I understand the directions.  Also, yes, the folder tv shows already exist.

Thanks,

Ben

What should happen is that a file called test.txt was created on the VIDEO share.
Is the share visible in the Windows Explorer?
Can you copy files to it?
