SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I use SABnzbd 0.46 and have a question about network folders.

My problem is: i want to extract my downloads to a network folder instead of the complete folder. I' m using Mac OS X and i am a complete mac newbie. What do i have to type into the "Completed Download Folder" field?

I' ve already tried \\name-of-network-server\folder\subfolder
and /name-of-network-server/folder/subfolder

I even created a alias of the network folder in my home folder. But all this didn't work.

Any Mac expets that can help me with my problem?

Thanks, it works just fine now

Be aware that if for some reason the network volume isn't mounted on the Mac, and sabnzbd goes to write to that network volume, it will actually create a folder with the volume name in /Volumes and stick it in there (it's not a sabnzbd bug, it's how OS X deals with Unix pathnames). I had a network hiccup one time, and I couldn't find where my files went to, and it turned out they were in a folder in /Volumes.

Just a handy tip, in case you ever 'lose' some files that were downloaded successfully.

I have the excact same problem - all my downloads needs to be stored on my NAS witch is attached to the OS X by name 'DiskStation'. I then tried to set the completed url to '/Volumes/DiskStation/download' but nothing appears in that folder upen completion, and i cannot find a folder anywhere on the system named "Volumes" - what am i missing?

PS: I am a ery big mac n00b, so bare with me if i am missing the obivous.

Volumes is a hidden folder. You can access it by opening Finder and SHIFT-COMMAND-G and entering /Volumes

Hope you'll find your files.

Thx - found them :-) That then brings me to my other question; what am i doing wrong since it does not save it on the nas named Diskstation?

I think that you Nas was not attached when you started SABnzbd...

- Unmount you Nas
- Delete the directory in /Volumes/Diskstation if it exists
- Mount your NAS and launch SABnzbd

It should work but I don't recommend to download directly on Nas.
