Download directly to NAS, possible?

Hi all,
have recently purchased a NAS and a media player to replace our HTPC, and now am running SABnzbd on an old laptop running Ubuntu desktop. Unfortunately my Linux knowledge is below par and I'm having trouble configuring SABnzbd to download directly to the NAS, instead it appears to download to some sort of mount point which, in the end, is using the internal hard disk it appears. That's a pretty small disk so basically useless, hence why I want to download directly to the NAS (ReadyNAS Ultra, for info).
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about? Like I mentioned running Ubuntu Desktop, latest version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Yes, it's possible.
But ... You searched this forum for "readynas", didn't you ... ? Read that ReadyNAS topic, and decide for yourself if you want to spend the money and time on that. And read in that topic about the support (or the lack of it) from the person you have to pay. You could mail him/her before paying him, to see if he replies at all.
FYI: SABnzbd itself is free.

Thanks for the quick reply - actually I searched Google
will have a search now.
Anyway, I'm not trying to install SABnzbd on the ReadyNAS (although yes, that would be ideal) - right now I'm running SABnzbd off a laptop but what I would like it to do is download everything directly to a network storage (which happens to be the ReadyNAS). I've just tried on my main laptop (Win7) as well, can point the folders to the netgear on the network but it's still downloading to my laptop :S
Can this be done or does SABnzbd not support/fancy downloading to another location than the actual machine it's installed on (or usb disk connected to it)?

I would *think* this is possblie: SABnzbd can save to C: and D:, so why not to Z: ?
However, I just tried this on someone's Windows 7 machine (I haven't got Windows myself), and ... it fails:
Code: Select all

I must say this drive Z: has a password, but I don't think that matters: the Z: was already mapped.
So ... try it out yourself ... maybe you have more luck ...

Well it actually worked when I had the HTPC running as SABnzbd server... stuff went straight to the NAS using the //NASname/folder/ structure. But from my laptop it wouldn't work, somehow after saving settings it would revert to the previous settings and store on local disk. Don't know if perhaps it's got something to do with LAN vs wireless?
Anyway, did the forum search and definitely worth a couple of $ for me if I can run SABnzbd server on the NAS, so will get that package and try and get it sorted.
Thanks for the replies and testing! And yes, does look like permission issue above...
