Hi, New to this so my apologies if it is an obvious solution.

I have an older iMac 24" Core 2 Duo, if that matters. Running OS 10.6.8
I have the DNS-320 with two 2TB Seagate drives in RAID 1 configuration. Using firmware 2.02b01
AFP is enabled, NAS shows up in Finder as a Shared volume. Created a user and gave read/write permission. I can create folders under the Volume_1. For instance, I created a Movies folder and moved some files to it.

When signed in as that user I can read/write single files. Volume information reports accurately. Time, date, etc. are all accurate.
I am using the NAS strictly as an extra volume to offload data from my internal drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. Later I would like to move my iPhoto and iTunes libraries there.

My problem is this: When I copy and paste a single file, it works fine. Even several files at a time are ok. But when I copy paste a folder, only the folder is created. The information in the folder (the files) are not copied over. It doesn't matter what the size of the folder is.

When I "get info" on a folder in the volume, my Movies folder for example, I get this:
smb://Dlink-NAS._smb._tcp.local/Volume_1/Movies

Any help is appreciated.

I had the same issue, and opted to use the terminal (the cp command)...
here might be a way to fix though, maybe using AFP instead of SMB ?

Thank you. I am unsure how to tell the Mac to use AFP instead of samba. I can see from the path (smb://Dlink...etc) that the Mac is using samba now. I'm confused as I enabled AFP in the NAS management tools. I'd like to try AFP first as people seem to be able to have success when using it to set this NAS up as a TM volume.

Threepwood, what is the "cp" command? If I use terminal, do I need to do this each time I want to transfer files? That doesn't seem convenient. I'd rather drag and drop like I do to other locally attached drives.

Cheers

When you go to "Connect to server..:" put afp://Dlink...etc, but I have same problem:

I can drag and drop big folder (with a lot of subfolders) from my macBook laptop (Lion OS X) and cant do the same thing from Mac Pro (Lion OSX on the same network)

The only way that i can resolve this same issue was mount the NAS as NFS volume.
