Using the built-in torrent program, I have download some data onto the NAS in the /NAS/P2P/Completed Folder.  When I tried cutting and pasting the files to the /NAS/Volum1/ in the NAS it goes at really slow speed(2MB/s).

Does anyone know why this is so slow? How do I fix this?

[threepwood]

It's slow because the files are moving around using your wifi network : your OS reads the files from the P2P folder, get them through the wifi connection, then sends them back (using wifi again) on the NAS.
I'm just getting started to know my DNS-320 so I can't really tell you if it's possible move your files "internally" (that is, from NAS to NAS without going through the network).

Yes, it's possible to move/copy files/folders internally. What you need is to open up a shell session using telnet or ssh protocol, of course this can only be achieved if fun-plug is installed.

The easiest way is to log into the NAS and select "Web file server" (That's one of the "applications" in the NAS) and do your file management there.
Instantaneous file transfers.

Fun_plug is not required to perform this.

Indeed! Right-clicking on a file brings up a menu with the "move" option. Nice.

Hello,

Just bought a DNS320. Transferred a video file 700MB from P2P to another folder under Volume_1 and it took 10 min. Not sure if this is too long.

Anyway, can't find the Web Server application ..... is it under the Application part? Can only see P2P, Ajaxexplorer there.

In Windows XP, W7 and Linux (Nautilus) a "cut and paste" and a "drag and drop" between locations on the same drive are treated as a move. A file or directory of many GB can be so moved in less than a second.

A move only takes a long time if there are many individual files to move.

Using the W7 file manager I just "cut & paste" a 5GB file and it was done immediately. I then selected "Undo move" from the Edit menu and the file was back where it came from in the blink of an eye.

What protocol were you using ? (SMB/CIFS, FTP?) Does SMB have a 'MOVE' command ? if so, it's great if it uses it in Win7!

I used the "default" access method - CIFS.

I am using XP. What you described is the normal copy&paste thing under Windows right? I just copy one single file (700MB) and so, going by what you said, should be very fast, not like 10 minute right?

I was asking this because previously another person mentioned that he used this normal Windows copy&paste and it was very slow, and someone else suggested using some Web Server app which is faster. But I can't see that app.

Correct. As long as source and destination are on the same drive, moves are "instant".

Log on to your DNS-320 and select "Applications".
The application you want is "WEB File Server".
If the left pane (the directory tree) just has "Volume_1" at the top, click it and it will list sub directiries underneath it (if there are any).

Hi Jack,

Sorry to bother you ..... but I don't see the WEB File Server thing at all when I logged into the DNS320.

On the left pane, I see:
Local Backups
FTP/HTTP Downloads
Logout


On the top pane, I see:
Schedule downloads
P2p downloads
Ajaxplorer
Support


Just don't see any Web File Server at all.

Am I missing something? BTW my firmware ver is 1.00.

[Jack Ryan]

I guess I should have asked what version firmware you are using...

In Version 1.0, the WEB file Browser is called Ajaxplorer. It remains the same software but by a different name.

It is probably worth upgrading to the latest version of firmware.

I didn't know about that function, I was used with my DNS-323 to just cut and pasting it, but that wasn't working with my new DNS-325.

Thanks !
