accessing files stored on C4-CA10 from Synology NAS

[BDavisNJ]

does anyone know how to script a  #!/bin/bash instruction to move files from a C4 controller to a hard drive?

Specifically, I am looking to have my Synology NAS drive run a scheduled script to move some Chowmain Events files to a location on my NAS.  I have tried dozens of variations and I cannot get the script to find the files on the C4 controller. This effort is to address an issue in which Chowmain SMTP driver does not permit attachments above a certain size.

An alternative solution would be to recommend a SMTP driver that permits attachments greater than 1mb.

I am running the script as user Admin.  I have tried:
#!/bin/bash
NOW=$(date +%m%d%y)
cp 192.168.57.96:/log/debug/chowmain_event_logger.log "Rodger_Wattkins/DiskC/Computer and Technology/Control4/C4 backups/log files/${NOW}"

 

Thank you

Because cp is really only used for the local system, not for directly grabbing files across a network (that's where you use scp). You could first create a mountpoint to the controller and then do a cp but that is more work. However, since the controller is running samba and the folder permissions are open, it should make matters quite simple.

If you have the smbget package, i'd do smbget smb://192.168.57.96/log/debug/chowmain_event_logger.log in the directory of choice. You can create the folder in advance of the script.

@Popolouthank you for your reply.  I will get familiar with smbget.
