Hello,
I am looking into doing some file hosting for friends and family, essentially being a "cloud" for them. Just randomly came across this software and had a few questions about it and was hoping to find some answers.
Questions:
If I was to use this software how would I A) install it? (is it a Linux flashed base, installable program for an OS or would it be like a standard firmware like a NAS box)
With that asked, if it works as a flash based OS or firmware, could I in fact connect it via usb 3.0 to another computer or esata out and usb 3.0 into another system or can it only be networked in?
Also, what is it like for users? If they log into via FTP or HTTP(S) is it pretty user friendly? I'm dealing with people who can barely turn on a machine.
How "open source" is this? Would I be able to change the graphics banner at the top and etc...
I'm currently using Wing FTP as the server software on a win7 machine so what my main goal to use this software for was exactly that, a NAS but I do not have enough room in my current case for more HDD's and I can't afford a NAS box that 4 or more HDD's.
I guess in short, can I use this software as a DAS?
