Download from NAS

    Good morning! I have a NAS under OpenMediaVault and I was wondering if it was possible to make the server download a file directly from the NAS from a PC?


    I explain myself, let's say I want to download a rather heavy file at night from my laptop into the NAS folder, how can I get the NAS to take over and turn off my laptop?


    Sorry about my English, I'm French!

    You may do that via ssh. You connect to the server via ssh (in Linux console: ssh <user>@<domain>. Example: ssh root@192.168.1.12 )
    And then you can download it there. If it's from an internet source wget is what you need: wget downloadwebsite.com/fileisnotavirus.exe
    though if you disconnect, you'll stop the session, so you'll want to run it in a screen or something.
    Start the session:
    screen -S dontneedaname
    Navigate to the file you want it downloaded in:
    cd /destination/for/downloads/
    The code to download:
    wget downloadwebsite.com/fileisnotavirus.exe
    To close the screen: ctrl-a d


    If this seems kind of technical, probably because I over-complicate things a lot.
    in case screens is not installed:
    sudo apt install screen

    they not the answer do you want but i do it by a Virtual Box OS on omv host on a small Internet connection, download directly from the Virtual Box OS in to a shared folder from omv.
    I use these also for heavy steam games download over night and then backup the game to my steam backup folder on the omv nas so i can restore the game from my pc from there.
