Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Hi All,
I bought my dns-320 about 2 weeks ago, but had no time to play around with it..I started now, but there are multiple strange things I experience..
-first, with v1 firmware, I had no p2p menu. I could see the first 3-4 menus, and that's it...called dlink, they immediately advised to put v2 firmware on it (dutch customer support)
So I installed v2 , all looked neat, totally changed interface. Could find the p2p downloads..yeee..
Then I wanted to start with fun_plug..( Download the fun_plug tar.gz file here and copy it to “volume_1” root (IE: dns-320/Volume_1/). Also download the “fun_plug” file (non tar-gz) and copy it to the same location.Reboot (From admin click on “tools” and then “system”) It did create the folder structure, but when I try telnet, it is not running...so this is the first step I got stuck..how do I make telnet to run?
Then I attached a WD MYbook to it's usb..Light went ON, it is now blue. What next is missing from the manual..how do I see it in the folder structure? How do I see it from the web interface? Wanted to copy files from NAS to USB.can't seem to find it.
I think that's it for now,maybe will have some more questions while trying some more.
Thank You if You have any experience/ideas/advice to share

Did you update your fun_plug file to point to the correct directory? Search and replace all entries of /mnt/HD_a2/ with /mnt/HD/HD_a2/.
Regarding the USB, (sorry for the lack of documentation and functionality), you can not currently access it via the web file browser or internal backup (will be changed in future). There are two ways to copy data.
1) Plug in the USB and hold the usb button for 3 seconds. This intiates a USB backup and will create a "USB Backup" folder on your drive. It will then proceed to backup the ENTIRE drive to that folder on your nas.
2) Access the drive via SMB from your PC using \\IP_ADDRESS_OF_NAS . You will see a USBDIsk mount folder which contains your files. Copy those files from the drive to your NAS share.

thank You for Your reply.
I checked the fun_plug files for the path, this is what it contains:
# real path to ffp
FFP_PATH=/mnt/HD_a2/ffp
all other lines contain the mnt/HD_a2 path..
with the SMB path, that is what I try. I see the VOlume_1 volume, I see the LP for the printer but I see no USB

just a quick note,
when I try to delete the ffp folder, it does not allow, seems there are stuff still running...
Offline
how could I delete, if windows explorer does not let me, and I cannot telnet?

Search and replace all entries of /mnt/HD_a2/ with /mnt/HD/HD_a2/
Then reboot the unit.

sorry, has not seen mnt/HD/HD_a2

gr8 thanks for the help, got fun_plug working. (at least , telnet worked until got disabled for ssh )
although, when trying to install transmission, after installing I am trying to start it up :
root@MALVINNAS:/mnt/HD/HD_a2# /ffp/start/transmission.sh start
mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon': No such file or directory
so it still refers to mnt/HD_a2 from the deamon. Can it be somehow changed?
thanks so much for the help, sorry for being pain in the *ss

Edit the /ffp/start/transmission.sh file. I guess you'll have to change "/mnt/HD_a2/" to "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/"

sorry for the next question :
how can I edit it? (sorry, I am used to Windows)
what is the command in telnet / ssh? (In win explorer I see the ffp folder, but there is no start folder in there. The search resulted this:
/mnt/HD/HD_a2 # find . -name 'transmission.sh'
./ffp/start/transmission.sh
but how to edit it?
thank you

Usualy you FTP the file to the PC and then edit on the PC and then FTP it back
FileZilla (free ftp) http://filezilla-project.org/
Notepad++ (editor, you can use editor you want) http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
Install filezilla and configure it as you want, setting ip number to your nas and which editor your want use.
Use filezilla to "logg on" to the NAS and then rightclick on files and choose edit
When you save files in the editor you must (after pressed saved in the editor) switch to filezilla and accept the transfer.

On Windows, the simplest method is to mount the NAS volume as a drive letter and then deal with the files as if they were on the PC. For text files, newlines are handled differently between Windows and Unix and hence an editor like the aforementioned notepad++ is highly recommended.
Or you can install an editor like vim on the NAS and invoke it from the telnet window. vim is included in the ffp packages. I prefer this method since it avoids inadvertently having the wrong permissions on certain files.
nano might be simpler to use than vim; install from http://ffp.wolf-u.li/additional/app-editors/
