Hi @frontsys

Please refer to the steps 2 to verify whether all of the package are under the path.

and refer to the steps 5 to confirm the path is correct are set up on the NAS.

Hi @danko ,

If all the change are all done correctly on the NAS, please do not forget to check the FTP service should enable the anonymous FTP access.

I have now managed to get the ZyXELCloud updated onto v1.06 and active on my system and I have managed to set up my Cloud account and it now recognises my device.
I had to go in via Putty and make some changes which I found by trial and error but all is working as it should.

Thanks

Ok. got it working on NAS326 with latest firmware:

The ftp URL is read from following file:

/i-data/sysvol/admin/zy-pkgs/web_prefix

Notice the dashed 'zy-pkgs' instead of 'zypkgs' … possibly happens in other device/firmware combos

I had to mkdir /i-data/sysvol/admin/zy-pkgs anyways

Also, by analizing an FTP server log, I noticed the NAS326 folder is uppercase (just in case)

Hope it helps someone.

Cheers

For those of us who don't know anything about Unix commands and are WIN types,
these forum instructions are very confusing.

I have NAS326 and it is at 192.168.1.99.

A few things are unclear to me when I look at the instructions and messages on this thread:

1. In one place it is mentioned that the NAS542 folder should be created on the NAS
   and the files obtained by unpacking the file NAS326_zypkg_5.21.zip should be placed in it,
   i.e. the path should be "nasaddress"/NAS542/zypkg/5.21
   Elsewhere it mentions to create a mkdir /i-data/sysvol/admin/zypkg/

Should the zypkg folder be a subfolder of the admin folder or not?

1. Somewhere it says that the command should be mkdir /i-data/sysvol/admin/zypkg/
   and in another place mkdir -p /i-data/sysvol/admin/zypkg
2. Somewhere it says that the echo command is run before the mkdir command,
   and somewhere it says that the mkdir command is run first
3. What is /i-data/sysvol/ anyway
4. Now zy-pkgs' is mentioned instead of 'zypkgs'…first was zypkg

So, the combination is countless....
can someone make an instruction in which it will be written exactly what the prerequisites are
and what needs to be done in the exact order?

Thank you very much!

Sadly doesn't solve mine. Still get the "Download List Fail" message on NAS542.

Copied the zypkg files across to the newly created NAS542 volume (placing them in NAS542/zypkg/5.21/)
Added the /i-data/sysvol/admin/zypkg/web_prefix with "ftp://[my-nas's-ip]"
Enabled anonymous FTP access.

Tried the zy-pkg directory name but to no avail.

whatewer I try, result is always same. Download list fail!

I quit…

BTW

I am disappointed with the manufacturer's decision to end support after a short period of production.

And the devices are still sold in the sales network even though they are "end of life".
