Manually Updating Firmware

From QNAPedia

Regarding how to update the firmware manually via command line, you will have to upload the firmware image (e.g. TS-209_2.1.2_build1031.img) to a shared folder in the NAS (e.g. Public) first, and then execute several commands with SSH/Telnet, here is an exmaple of this:

# mv /share/Public/TS-209_2.1.2_build1031.img /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update/ 

# ln -sf /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update /mnt/update 

# /etc/init.d/update.sh /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update/TS-209_2.1.2_build1031.img 

And you will have to reboot the system after manually updating the firmware.

# reboot
