NAS4Free Installation problem

[Piet1939]

I replaced my HDD for a bigger one and I did a new installation. (My data was saved already)
I did follow the guide : INSTALLING and Configuring NAS4Free on a Windows Network.
But I can not complete the installation
I did install everything till "The next step in the process is to create the folder directories for our users" without problems.
So I made Groups and one User
But than the (my) problem started.
Here is a part of the installation guide:

The next step in the process is to create the folder directories for our users.
Note that this is NOT the shares themselves but just the folders.
Head over to “Advanced –> File Manager “ and login if you see the prompt.
Here you see a visual listing of the folder structure on Your NAS box.
click on … beside File Path
Don’t worry about all the others.
The only folder we need to work in, is ‘mnt’.
Within, you should see a folder corresponding to the mount point name you’ve created in the beginning.
In my case, it’s simply Storage. TILL HERE EVERYTHING WENT OK.
than:
Head inside your mount point. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<WHAT MEANS THIS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
Towards the right side, in the drop down menu, select Directory instead of File.<<<<<<<<< I DON'T SEE THIS DROP DOWN MENU SO i CAN NOT CHANGE IT.
In the text field next to this box, type in the name of the directory and click Create. ,,,,,,,,, SO I CAN NOT DO THIS
In my scenario, I will create three different folders within my Storage mount point. etc. etc.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND “Head inside your mount point” WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO ???
If I go on that moment to the mount point in Disks Management - Mount, than I don't see a drop down menu

Can someone give me a good explanation how to do this, step by step.
I also opened then “WinSCPPortable.exe” but the root is empty. Probably I did not finish the previous steps wright.

Till now I spent already a whole day by traying to get it working.

Thanks, Piet

I prefer to use WinSCP to do this , is more intuitive and Fast: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

ithin, you should see a folder corresponding to the mount point name you’ve created in the beginning.

If your HD is HD1 probably your mount oint must be /mnt/HD1 in my case I use ZFS and my mount point is /mnt/MyZPool so If I want to create a video folder to share, I need to create first on the mount point. ej: /mnt/MyZPool/Video and the share it by SMB



NEVER share your mount point, because you do not see correct freespace , and do not have apropiate user & group permissión, correct way is always creat firsta folder in your mount point.


PD: in ZFS, create a Datset is the sane that create a folder, only that have some ventages like quota reservationj and other advanced features.
