Hi team 

This is a n00b question just struggling to write the file path to convert the Local Media Folder path to directly write to QNAP Nas from Ubuntu 18.04. I wish make it very easy for my client to get Bookmarked exported files directly off the Linux server and into the QNAP NAS environment. We are using Nx in a non security environment and they to get a large amount of footage (up to 32 hours) off the server every day (*.nov format) This footage will then be sorted and stored for up to 10 years due used for monitoring educational progress for their clients

Main question can it be done, or is there no way to make "Local Settings : General : Local Media Folder" a direct network link.

Any help or pointers in the right direction much apprecitated, as syncronisation of the "Local Media Folder" using Linux commands "when" or "cronjob" or Linux apps Like GRSYNC Rsync or Backup or Freefilesync all have had (for me at least, being a non coder) lead to timewasting pursuits with never the exact need answered. Hence my desire to get the files off the linux server directly. Thanks for your consideration of this request for help

 

Regards

Glen

  Hi Glen,

  You could consider mounting a NAS folder to a local path of the Ubuntu server(By referring to the article here):

  #mount -t cifs -o username=<username>,password=<pwd> //<NAS IP>/<share foler> <Ubuntu local path>

  A simple example for your reference:

  #mount -t cifs -o username=nx,password=nxsupport //192.168.1.100/bookmark /home/nx/export

  After storage mounted, you will be able to choose it from the Nx desktop client directly.

  Let me know if you have further question, thank you.
