A few useful tips for setting up a LinkStation
Authored by: m_user on Sep 16, '05 11:49:15AM

Here's the wrap up to my original post for anyone who was following this topic. The "best" solution when using this version of the Linkstation is to connect using the SMB protocol. The trouble I had when using this protocol came from checking the preference "Run as root". With this preference FoldersSyncronizer copies the files as "root" user. The Linkstation, being embeded linux, also has a root user. I don't have a great deal of knowledge about this, but my understanding is that for obvioius security reasons root logins from different machines don't trust each other. Hence, no files copied. Uncheck the box and suprise, everything copies over - long file names and all.

As a final note, I am using FoldersSyncronizer X 3.5.2 with OSX 10.4.2 over the SMB protocol with continued sucess.
