Cause my pc will download and then upload. With native file manager from the nas the transfer is direct disk-to-disk, 100% more faster. It looks better right?!
In addition to taking twice as long, I need to keep my computer on all the time, if I have a lot of data i got a big problem. It is totally ridiculous for a NAS like the EX4100 to not have its own/native file manager.
I have occasional need to transfer large amounts (2+TB) of data between USB drives and the NAS. I the past, I have used the “backup app” as my only recourse. . . but it is clearly not the right tool for the job considering the INFLEXIBILITY in the folder naming conventions.
A native file manager makes a huge amount of sense.
I have rarely, if ever, done the SSH thing.
Like I said, for the rare times I have to do the USB transfer; I have put up with the backup app (which recreates the ENTIRE folder structure on the target). Fortunately, once the data is on the correct drive; it is fairly easy (and quick) to fix the folder structure using the graphical File Explorer
I probably could do file movements using DOS on my PC. . .but I don’t.
Frankly. . . I could see using a graphical NAS file browser/management tool than a WebApp/phone app.
I can move with Putty. But, take a lot of time because is more difficult without one native file manager, GUI interface make the service more easy ans faster.
