Hopefully an easy question about file paths for the bi-lingual Linux & Windows folks...
I have a flow that saves a file to a shared folder on a Synology NAS. I use the moment node (as instructed in this post) to create the file name. When running Node-RED on my Windows PC, I save to a specified Synology NAS location (which is 192.168.10.199/p-drive, followed by the subfolders and other file naming stuff. And this flow works beautifully.
I then moved this same flow to a AWS-hosted Debian box on our network, and after going thru the NFS setup, I can see the drive when I use the df command:
But when I try to put various combinations of the file path into the Moment node (as I did on the Windows box), I cannot get it to work. Here is one combination and the error:
I am almost certain I am missing a slash or a colon or some other small thing, but maybe more on the Debian box is required in order to map to this shared folder and use that path in Node-RED.
Thank you both. Got it working now. Here's how (in case others in the future want to save files to a Synology NAS)...
These instructions (towards the very end of the page) that I originally followed show in their example to mount the Synology folders as follows:
sudo mount -t nfs 196.168.x.x:/volumeX/test /mnt
And I blindly followed the above, which mounted the path to /mnt (which in retrospect is odd, I guess). And when I later tried to do ls in /mnt, I was getting all sorts of permission denied messages. So I then undid (unmounted) the drive from the /mnt path and once back to square one, I followed these instructions instead and they correctly state to do the following:
Create a directory:
$ sudo mkdir -pv /synology-nas/Files
Mount the shared folder "Files" in the newly created directory:
$ sudo mount 192.168.0.110:/volume2/Files /synology-nas/Files
and from there, I just cleaned up some of the permissions on the Synology GUI and the final path that worked was:
