Transferring Files Over Network from Windows 10 to Drive Connected to FreeNas v11

[thevinylcode]

Hello! I just finished building my system and installing FreeNAS. I have access to the OS via the web UI. I have a lot of data I need to transfer over and I do not want to use an external USB 3.0 drive. I am struggling to figure out how to make my FreeNAS system show up under Windows 10 so I can drag and drop files from the NTFS drives. Is this even possible? Thanks!

You are going to have better luck if you start reading and reading and reading. Sounds like you haven't really thought this through yet. Start with reading the manual cover to cover. Then come back with your questions.

After that check out the resources section on the forums: https://www.ixsystems.com/community/resources/

has lots of good guides on how to do things.

Im pretty new as well however you need to make a pool of your drives. Then make a data set.
Also need to set up an SMB share.
If you're running a 1g network dont expect anything over 120mbs transfer speed.
