SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

i have installed Sabnzbd on a linux server and i would like to configure sabnzbd to use a harddisk on another pc as the extracted folder, how can i set this up???  i totally have no idea .

now my extracted folder says :    downloads/complete     but this is on the local harddrive.

i need help with this please

thanks in advance.

ps, every time it just creates a new folder in my ubuntu home directory so it creates directorys like :  smb:\\laptop\downloads  etccc  its driving me crazy, i really would like to use my other harddisk as the complete disk.

The other PC must "share" its hard disk somehow (all or just a part) as a network drive.
The second step is to mount the external share on the Linux box.
By "mounting" you attach the external share to the local file system of the Linux server.
Look or tutorials on the web on how to do this.

Hai thanks for the fast reply,  well im already sharing the folders on the windows system and i can connect to them thru ubuntu and i see my share directorys in my desktop (if i right click it only says unmount, so they are mounted)

but i need a password to login to it is that a problem and how can i solve it if it is???

any ideas?

on Linux SABnzbd runs as root (i think) you should be able to create a local account on your windows system called root with the same password to allow SABnzbd to write to your shared drive

Hai

the problem is that when i file in the windows network share  (lets say smb://windows/downloads ) then it just create's a directory with that name in my home folder on ubuntu.

so actually that is the reall big problem, is there a workaround???

Some good reading here; for the mounting part the post on the ubuntu forum is very much step by step.
