SABnzbd Forums

Hi all, I have sabnzb setup on ubuntu working fine.

I want to be able to send all the completed files to a windows share drive on the lan but I can not figure out the format to enter in to the config panel.

I have tried

smb://mountname
//mountname

And I have looked through the manual but can't fine anything when going from Linux > Windows. There is plenty of information the other way thought

Any help appreciated!

Just a bit more info have checked and verified in Ubuntu that i can navigate to these share on the remote windows share.

I also checked through the log and still getting the error message that SABNZB can not find the location.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Quick and dirty method, potentially insecure but if it's your box and only you use it, it should be fine. I did this last night.


For the proper way see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount ... ermanently

NOTE I had to do the first three steps from the website above, before I did the remainder. You may already have SMBFS installed. With the next two steps I checked to ensure that the shares mount/dismount on reboot.

1) Create a mount point /sharename or whatever
2) edit /etc/fstab to reflect your details //server/share /mountpoint cifs username=domain/user,password=password 0 0
3) mount with mount /mountpoint
4) you can edit locations in sabnzbd to reflect locations you require /mountpoint/downloads/complete etc.

Hope this helps.
