Command find syntax on Synology NAS

I'm trying to list the files older than 14 days on a Synology 918 NAS - using the planned scheduler, but keep getting "No such file or directory" when running the task - problem is, the device interface is in danish so I'm uncertain ie the volume names is correct ?

find /volume1/syndata1/scanner -atime +14

Open in new window

Have you tried SSH'ing in to the NAS and then doing a ls command there using that folder path to confirm it exists and is valid?

Hi Bill, thanks for the idea, but I'm on a windows 7 platform, so will need to get a SSH client to try that

I can't get the SSH connection to work but through the built-in scheduler i manged to get a ls -l / fired, and volume1 looks like it does exits - so far so good

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 304 Feb 23 16:00 volume1
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 18 04:14 volumeUSB1

ok then ls -l /volme1
or boldly go for the find command..

noci was right - it was down to the case :)

An ls -l /volume1/Scanner gives me a list of all the files in the folder

- but find /volume1/Scanner -atime +14 just returns nothing ?

I think I need mtime instead

Depends what you are looking for ;-)

mtime is modified/created....
atime is last access time (if it is enabled) ... depends on volume & mount options. (and what filesystem is used).

probably you will need mtime.
