Please read through the above 2 links to understand better before proceeding !

My home NASs as of July'2012

I have 3 units of DNS-320 and I use 1 of it for FunPlug + Transmission to serve as download center

I hard-reset the device (by pressing & holding the re-set button at the back for >1min) before starting the following setup

After hard-reset, I setup as follows

Consider to subscribe free DDNS account from either no-ip or DLinkDDNS

I used a Seagate 640GB SATA and configured as Standard volume

Installing FunPlug 0.7

Go HERE and download this 2 files

Navigate and browse Network to locate the device

double-click on "Volume_1"

copy that 2 files here (at the top directory of Volume_1)

Restart the device

After the device re-booted, navigate to Volume_1, noticed a sub-folder "ffp" and a ffp.log file created automatically --> that means FunPlug already installed !

Next few steps I just followed Uli's guide, thanks to him again !

PuTTY to the device via Telnet

Change the device's root password

usermod -s /ffp/bin/sh root
mkdir -p /ffp/home/root/
sed -ie 's#:/home/root:#:/ffp/home/root:#g' /etc/passwd
pwconv

passwd

This step is to store password

wget http://wolf-u.li/u/172/ -O /ffp/sbin/store-passwd.sh
store-passwd.sh

Activate & enable SSH login

chmod a+x /ffp/start/sshd.sh
sh /ffp/start/sshd.sh start

Once done the above, exit PuTTY

PuTTY login to the device again, this time via SSH mode

Yes to continue

After able to login successfully via SSH, may consider to disable Telnet mode by entering the following command, then re-boot the device

chmod -x /ffp/start/telnetd.sh
reboot

Basically FunPlug 0.7 installation is now completed, next the Transmission !

Installing Transmission

Either:

Download the 2 files from KyleK as follows : (thanks to him again!)

and copy to the following folder:

Or:

PuTTY into the device and wget the 2 files, one after another

wget http://inreto.de/ffp/0.7/arm/packages/curl-7.21.4-arm-1.txz
wget http://kylek.is-a-geek.org:31337/files/ffp/0.7-arm/Transmission-2.52-arm-1.txz

Run the following to install the 2 packages, one after another:

funpkg -i curl-7.21.4-arm-1.txz
funpkg -i Transmission-2.52-arm-1.txz

IMPORTANT!!

Run the following to check & write-down the actual directory path
Noticed my DNS-320 HDD actual mount path is /mnt/HD/HD_a2

Run Transmission for the first time:

su nobody -c "transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -w /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads -t -u <Your-Desire-UserID-Here> -v <Your-Desire-Password-Here> -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"
