Good morning!
I managed to get my first FreeNAS machine up and running this morning & have the drives, shares, and user access all configured! Loving it thus far - just need to start understanding how everything fits together & where to find things.
Stupid question I am sure: Is is possible to "pull" files onto my FreeNAS machine? Further explanation:
I am logged into (and working on) the Web UI of my FreeNAS 9 machine, and want to browse my home network, locate another machine on the network, and pull some files to the NAS. Can this be done? The reason I want to do this is because the other machine I am referring to is a headless machine with no GUI (Ubuntu Server). I guess this would require something similar to windows explorer, but a FreeNAS version?
An easy workaround would be to use a windows machine to copy between the Ubuntu server and the NAS, but I would prefer the two machines communicating directly without "third party" intervention if possible.
Thanks for your assistance!
Kind Regards,
Jim.
