Downloads Areas Available & Upload Access

[timtim]

Hi - we have made a space for you to upload useful bits for your machines to for Iomega, Lacie, Plextor, QNAP, Sitecom, Thecus and Zyxel devices. These areas are available at:

http://downloads.iomega.nas-central.org
http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org
http://downloads.plextor.nas-central.org
http://downloads.qnap.nas-central.org
http://downloads.sitecom.nas-central.org
http://downloads.thecus.nas-central.org
http://downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org

We need your help to fill this with goodies for your devices! If you have useful stuff to upload register at the bug tracker (the bug tracker login, and permissions are used by our ftp server). Once registered log a bug requesting access to the specific areas you need. The bug tracker is at:

http://bugtracker.nas-central.org/

Also if you find any useful information here in the forums that would make a good wiki article or are able to help add and organise information for your devices remember your login here will also allow you to edit the wikis - any help here is appreciated!

One last nag - when uploading GPL/other licensed software please remember to comply with your obligations under the terms of the respective licenses!

What about uploading GPL sources of default firmware? gpl.nas-central.org is not up-to-date.

[timtim]

Hi - are these available online somewhere for your manufacturer or do they need requesting? If latter people can upload them to home areas and we can move them to the right place on request. I am going to fix your access up today!

The firmware I'm triggering on at the moment, ZyXEL NSA-210, is freely downloadable, but the line is painfully slow. It doesn't matter for me, my NAS has time enough, but a faster mirror would be convenient.

TimTim, can you confirm if it is OK to upload images of drives?

Also once we have an account with Bugtracker, how do we upload to the FTP site?

[timtim]

Hi Mattylad - yes images are fine - ideally accompanied with GPL sources.

Once you have registered file a bug requesting access to a specific downloads area (lacie, buffalo, etc) and we will enable your bugtracker account for ftp access - we have a special ftpd linked to the bug tracker logins. This also gives you developer permissions in the bug tracker so you can manage bugs people file with your uploaded software.

I would like to upload some files from Steppenwolf to the Lacie download section to add SSH, NTP, Telnet, XFS and CUPS stuff to the 2Big Network v1

Is that the idea as well?

[timtim]

Hi yep just register at the bug tracker and file a bug requesting access.

[timtim]

Updated original post with the new additions and better info on bug tracker registration!

I can see the download area in my browser, the only thing in it is the nas central icon. I do not see how to upload files.

[Mijzelf]

Which download area?
