Unrar within the NAS

Post by jesper1889 »

I'm a satisfied NAS 109 owner and as a new user there was a few things I had to learn before I could use the NAS I wanted to. Here is a simple guide to unrar within the NAS.
I'm not so good at english and as a systemdeveloper (computer geek :)) some things maybe be explained better. Please tell me, and I will update this little guide.

Download:
unrar from http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar-arm.tar.bz2
WinSCP from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
Putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html

Installation:
- Install WinSCP
- Install Putty
- Unpack unrar
- Upload unrar to /usr/bin folder on the NAS with WinSCP (Connect with SFTP and have 'Allow SCP fallback' checked).

Usage:
Log on to the NAS with Putty by typing hostname or IP
Supply with username and press ENTER
Supply with password and press ENTER.
Go to the folder where the rar file/files by use \cd to go back in the folders and cd /share/Qdownload to go to the download folder
Type 'unrar e rar-file-name' without the "'" around
The file will be in the same folder as the rar-file-name

Exit Putty by typing 'exit' and press ENTER.

Notice that logged in as a administrator you can mess your NAS up if you are'nt carefull!
I'm not any Linux expert, but "know my way around", so I take no responsibility if you mess up youre NAS!

Done!

hi silas!

like you have discovered in our irc discussion that
find /share/Qdownloads/ -name "*.rar" -print | xargs unrar e

needs a filename without spaces.


i was not satisfied with this conclusion so i tried a work around
for f in `find /share/Qdownloads/ -name "*.rar"` ; do unrar e $f ; done
should do the job! can someone try this and give me feedback?


cheers

Hi,
Nice and easy instructions - thanks. Got it to work up to the point that I found the rar file I wanted to unpack has a password. I know the password but am not a putty expert, any idea what command I use?

I am wondering if there is a way to setup a batch unrar process given these circumstances:

I have many files to unrar

Each unrar job has multiple files (***.part01.rar, ***.part02.rar, etc)

Each job has a different password.

Is there any way to assign a password for each one in advance of the unrarring so that it can do them all without having to ask for password?

Hi all...
I tried the ipgkg unrar but that didn't work.
Everytime i tried to unrar something I got the parameter information text.
But downloading the unrar from the link in this post and putting the file in the correct folder.. for me it is /share/MD0_DATA/optware/opt/bin/unrar worked perfectly.:)

Thank for the post.

Hi everyone!

Anyone knows whether it's possible to add the unrar function to the Custom commands in WinSCP?

Sorry for a semi offtopic question: Qnap web gui doesn't include an unrar function? This is a surprise because Synology has it (can even handle multiple archives and choose to which folder to extract). Does Qnap have this function on the rodmap?

Yes ... you can extract files through the web file manager.

Just right click on the RAR file and select extract.
