In Putty setup your Putty Configuration to look like this, but obviously replace the IP address with that of your QNAP server.From now on I will assume that is what you are using.

So if you don’t have a client, download Putty and install it. I recommend the very popular client known as Putty ( ). Now we will need to connect to your QNAP server using a Telnet client.On the Remote Login make sure the Telnet connection is selected.In the QNAP administrator webpage select Network Services > Remote Login.If you already are familiar with using Telnet or SSH to connect to your QNAP server you can skip this and go to Part II of this article. Now we are going to turn on the Telnet remote log-in of the QNAP server.If everything is okay your USB disk should be shown in the web form.Go to External Device and then select USB Disk.Login using your administrator (admin) account. Web browse to your QNAP administration page, by default it is at.Plug in your external USB device into a USB socket at the back of the QNAS server and turn the USB device on (if needed).Turn on your QNAS server and wait for it to boot.

This utility covered all my needs quite well and so below I will explain how to use it with an external USB device and a QNAP NAS server. In the past I have found it unreliable and I also preferred the manual control of using the Linux command line.įortunately the QNAP server comes with the handy command known as rsync. One of the problems though was trying to work out an easy away to transfer the 750 GB of data from the USB device over to the NAS server without using the QNAP Backup feature.

This is something I would recommend to everyone do, even those with NAS devices which run with multiple drives. Lucky I had all the QNAP data stored on a secondary, dumb USB hard drive so no data was lost. Eventually I gave up and restarted from scratch. No amount of partition fixing or recovering would enable it to mount. For some reason the file partition holding all the data became so corrupt that the QNAP firmware would refuse to even mount the drive. Recently I was forced to format my QNAP TS-109 and reinstall the firmware.
