Need to access this folder on my DNS 320L /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Movies folder on Windows PC ?
-
What firmware are you using that produces ' /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Movies'?
Do you have SMB/CIFS active on your 320L? If so you should see your NAS box under 'network' in windows explorer which should then allow you to find the folder 'Movies' and open it assuming it is not password protected (if password protected just supply the user and password).

Yes SMB/CIFS is activated. I can access Movies thru \\IP ADRESS\Movies but what i need is to access the root folder /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Movies . Is this possible ?

\\IP ADRESS\Movies and /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Movies is the same folder AFAIK
To check install QuiXplorer from vtverdohleb's addons http://dlink.vtverdohleb.org.ua/Add-On/ (http://dlink.vtverdohleb.org.ua/Add-On/)

What program on windows are you using that converts standard SMB/CIFS notation into standard UNIX notation?
/mnt == unix instruction to OS to mount something as an installable unit.
/HD == unix instruction as to what to mount.
/HD_a2 == unix instruction indicating root directory of hard disk 2.
/Movies == a unix case sensitive directory off of the root of a hard disk.
\\IP address == on most OSs is the equivalent to the unix /mnt/HD/HD_a2 in your case.
\Movies == is the same directory as /Movies in your case.
When you say access it depends on what you want to do how you do it.
The simple way is to open 'WindowsExplorer', scroll down to 'Network' and expand it and look for something like Volume_1 on DNS-320L or Dlink-xxxxxx (where the xxxxxx are the SMB name of the NAS), expand that and you should find your Movies directory (assuming it is not set as hidden).
The other way is to download and install FileZilla and use the IP address if the NAS to see all directories (assumes the FTP server of the DNS-320L is started). Select the Movies directory and a directory on your PC and you can then transfer files between them with ease.
