best way to copy files from one to the other
Hi there,
just bought a 750 gig to add to my 500 gig. Running them as separate harddisks.
What is the best way to copy some stuff from one to the other? I am doing a copying using windows explorer and it seems the data is going back and forth through the network to my laptop.
Is there a way to copy within the NAS so it doesnt go through the network... hence... faster copying?
My NAS is using 1.03 firmware and is totally stock standard. I have not tried to install anything on it, nor would I have any idea how to... but am willing to learn.
Thanks!

Re: best way to copy files from one to the other
Hello,
I need to copy 400GB from one DNS-323 to another in different locations. Moving disks around is not an option.
Can someone tell me how I can mount the share on one NAS while logged on to a TELNET session on the other NAS?
Regards,
Jaya

Please tell me you're using a secure network (vpn) between the 2 sites if you're using telnet?? telnet is very insecure as it sends usernames & passwords in clear text!
If you want to copy from 1 DNS-323 to another in a different location, I would suggest installing the ssh daemon on the one receiving and scp on the one sending (they can be got through fonz's fun_plug among other places). scp can copy recursively and you can also compress the data before sending using pipes. Here's a link on scp/ssh usage.

I won't, just to keep you guessing 
I would suggest installing the ssh daemon on the one receiving and scp on the one sending.
I was considering enabling FTP on NAS #1 and using downloads on NAS #2. This would be simple and fast except I have to enable FTP every time I do this. I was hoping I could do the equivalent of mount -t smbfs which would be clean and simple.

PS: Perhaps I should have said "using root shell" and not mention TELNET ...

Re: best way to copy files from one to the other
I don't think anyone has compiled the samba client for the dns-323 but I don't use samba so I'm not sure... you could use nfs (like a unix version of samba) which would allow you to mount the remote filesystem/path and would probably be quicker than samba anyway - however, if there's no secure network between the 2 hosts I would strongly suggest reading up on nfs security (or samba security if there is a smbclient out there) and probably recommend using scp instead.
BTW - is this to backup the files to a remote location or are you planning on using the files in both places? Are you going to do this copying often, or a 1 off? Perhaps rsync or similar might be a better option if you want to keep them in sync.

Jaya, are you wanting this to happen on a scheduled basis, or is it a one-time thing? If you want it to be scheduled, consider using BackupNetClone (http://backupnetclone.sourceforge.net/). It could backup one DNS-323 to another every night in the same way as the A to B tutorial mentions (rsync over SSH).
