I am just starting my search on this subject but thought I would ask here where the best and the brightest are
I have a NAS box connected to my network in the office. When I am on the road, like I am now, I would like to be able to connect to that box. Hopefully so that I can get MM to access the library I have there.
Any thoughts on how to do this? I have never done this as I haven't had a NAS box before. I can get stuff from my server by RDP to it but that is not the same.

Re: How to connect to a NAS across the internet
I believe there may be some topics on this. Generally you have 3 options: FTP, HTTP or DLNA. Many NAS have either build in options or allow Addons to be installed that can do this.

Re: How to connect to a NAS across the internet
I don't think you can beat a homebrew NAS. Take an old computer case and motherboard and stuff it with as many harddrives as you can. Or, buy a case and motherboard and a bunch of harddrives and build it yourself. Install FreeNAS with a bootable USB drive and set it up how you please. It will undoubtedly be cheaper than any other pre-built solutions, work just as well, and be relatively future-proof.dtsig wrote:Also, what are thoughts on *best* (fast, size, price etc) NAS you have used?

Re: How to connect to a NAS across the internet
Interesting thought. Been along time since I put a box together (at current prices why?) but the concept is valid. Never heard of FreeNAS before but will check it out.
That is why i keep asking questions ... thanks again
