Goal
Automatically copy files in one directory to another directory on another computer, specifically from a Windows 7 desktop to a NES.
This way, tracks in my iTunes library can be copied to the NES where they will be available to any device on the LAN that can access the iTunes service on the NES.
Also, video files captured with phones or cameras and saved in a Lightbox library can also be copied to the NES where they would be available to be viewed on the flat-screen TV.
Solution
- utility from Microsoft (free).
Troubleshooting
Accessing NAS from Windows results in network name/password prompt
- Computer > right click > Properties > Advanced system settings > Computer Name tab > Network ID button
- Make sure that the "This is a home computer; it's not part of a business network" option is selected.
