Thanks

I want to know when was the last change made by a user on NAS files.

When viewing your files and file lists, the datetime you see is the last modification datetime by default. But it's usually rounded-off.

If you'd like a more precise datetime, use the 'stat' command with a filename as an argument. Example:

Code: Select all

stat /etc/config/uLinux.conf

Code: Select all

stat /etc/config/uLinux.conf

I am using QNAP firmware. Where should I issue this command?
Time precision is not very important.
I want to know when was the last change made by a user on NAS files, not about a specific file on NAS. Or How can I find the location of last file changed by a user?
---------
In addition I want to know "when was the last successful sync by a user?"

you issue this via ssh .. e.g. putty on windows

Ah, that's a bit more involved. You'd need to create a search that finds all files accessible by that specific user, sorts them by the modification datetime, then displays the results.

However, if these files are on shares accessible via many people and each client isn't mapped to a unique UID in the NAS, the user to last modify each file won't be recorded.

In addition I want to know "when was the last successful sync by a user?"

Sorry, don't know. I don't use any syncing software on my QTS NAS.

1. Is there a graphical interface to do that?
2. How can I sort all files in a "share" by modification date&time? (Including all files in folders)

Not that I know of.

This could be done at the command-line-interface, but it would take some careful construction of the correct commands. It's something best attempted by someone familiar with the CLI.

Have you looked at Qsirch?
But it can't do any search via user.
Not many people need to know the date/time of the last file saved by a user, rather specific requirement.

CLI example, finds files saved by admin user in last day

" find /share/Public/ -user admin -name "*.*" -mtime -1"

Thank
I want to know the status of qsync for a given user.
It seems better to wait for answer of my ticket:

[storageman]

From the client side there is "File Update Center: List the file or folder update logs."
No sure how you would get update logs from NAS side.

Thanks all
Qnap answer:
From Qnap gui, if you check Qsync Central, there is a menu called "Event logs". In here you can see this kind of a logs.
