Moving/copying large chunks of data tie up one of the "workstations" for hours at a time.

Is it possible to make a webbased filemanager, so the work can be done by the server, and I only need to check up on it from time to time.

That would be great I'll take one too...

Do you mean something that runs on the unRAID server that will move files from a workstation share to an unRAID share?

 

If so, you can do this currently using the command line.  Do something like this:

 

mkdir /work

 

smbmount  //workstation/share  /work

(it will probably prompt you for a workstation user name/password)

 

cp /work/..  /mnt/disk1/...

 

Substitute name of your workstation for 'workstation'.  Of course you can copy from the workstation share to any disk.

 

When done:

 

umount /work

I'm not sure this will actually accomplish the benefit the OP seeks.  Just because the copy is initiated on the server side doesn't mean the workstation has no work to do.  If the workstation is locked up for large transfers when initiating it on its end, it should be locked up even with the other method.

 

I would be interested in the results.
