SABnzbd Forums

Hello,
I have just installed Sadnzbd on my ReadyNAS and want so specify custom folders for Temporary download folder and Completed download folder. Please excuse the obvious question, but this is somewhat new to me. I have already created the folders on the root of my NAS drive called DLtemp and DLcompelte with wide open permissions. But, I am unsure of the formatting of the path that I would enter on the Sabnzbd config section. Im an used to Windows format such as C:\DLtemp.. but that didn't work.. I have tried different formats but can't seem to get it right. Im not sure of the OS on the NAS, but think it might be a form of LINUX of which I am not very familiar.

Thank you for any help, it is appreciated.

The formatting would be linux folder-structure based. And to specify a folder outside of home/USER you must use absolute pathing. An example of which could be /etc/default/whatever

Thank you kindly for your reply. I am unfamiliar with linux file structure. I can tell you when I browse our network I can see the NAS device's name, when I open that I am presented with several shares. There is "C", "DLTemp", "DLComplete" and "webroot". If I open the "C" share I see a list of program named folders preceded by a period such as .sabnzbd and .sickbeard and other folders such as "webroot", "backup" and "home" folders. In the home folder there is one folder called "admin" which contains one file called odic.ini.

So I guess I am still unsure what it means to use absolute paths and how that would relate to the DLTemp and DLComplete shares I have created and how I would enter the paths into the config options.

Thanks again for the reply. I "Googled" around a bit and believe I have figured it out. I was over thinking it.
The paths are simply entered as "/DLTemp" for the temporary folder and "/DLComplete" for the Completed Download folder which matches the shares I created in the root of my NAS file structure.

Now it's time to play
