actually, I think this can be done! if you get into the file transfer page, you can schedule a copy of a folder or file locally to local, this may not be very feature-rich but it does represent a local copy that can be scheduled. something like this:

logon for Downloads
choose either file or folder from pulldown
on the URL line hit the 'local' button and choose the source
on the Save To line, hit the 'browse' button and choose the destination
choose the 'when'
choose recurrence
choose whether incremental or not

then press 'save settings' button.

(wish granted?)

@nrf,

Thanks man!  Yeah, I guess I've never logged into the "Downloads" part of the GUI before.

Cheers.

after playing around with my own linux system, it appears that the read performance of this box could be improved by some tuning of buffer sizes and tcp options. right now, a 4k jumbo packet 'read' operation on this box is no faster than a normal 1500 mtu operation.

perhaps the ibm redbook on linux performance tuning could be mentioned to your slaves who are doing the firmware work.

<update>

at this point it seems the transfer rates are on par with similar and even more expensive units, so I am moderating my stand on this. however, one must ask if jumbo packet size is a true feature as it provides no benefits. if this is a hardware horsepower limitation, why bother 'supporting' jumbo packets? or if you are going to support jumbo packets, why not at least find out the true limiting factor? is it the processor speed? lack of dma? not enough buffers? tcp tuning?

it seems even a 'atom' based tiny pc can provide transfer rates in the area of 2-3x that these cute little boxes can...

changing the hard set, 2000 file listing FTP truncate limitation as outlined here:

http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=3922.msg22086#msg22086

hardcode changing the setting in the PureFTP shell file would work on a normal Linux server (and obviously hacking the PureFTP on the DNS could be done).
So it'd be nice to have either a simple tick box expanding the truncate to something really high, or a field input to set the truncate number specifically.
