Transferring Files to a Server

Hi All!
 

I've got too much content and am having to transfer my files to my server. I pulled the files from the "My DAZ 3D Library" and placed them on the server. I directed the "Content Files Install To" on my DIM to said folder on the server. I also adjusted the line item in my Content Directory Manager to the appropriate folder. 

When I try to download and install new content from my DIM, I get this message "The path specified in the "show details" area, on the "ready to install" page, is not currently available." It then asks me to make sure I am connected to the drive and that my computer recognizes the drive. I am connected to my server, that's easy to know. I feel like I'm missing something here. My server isn't a "drive" it has no label like C, D, E, etc. Is that the issue? Or is it something else? 

Any help would be most appreciated.

    How is the drive identified? If that changes DS and DIM will not find it.

    You probably need to map the server location as a network drive in order for DAZ Studio and DIM to recognize it consistantly.

    Are you on Windows or Mac?

    How are you transferring the files to the server?

    What is the server - something like a NAS?

    If windows then you need to map a drive from the NAS to your box - a modern NAS will have the required servers running to do this.

    If Mac - then I am not familiar with this, but as a Mac is based on Unix then I would expect NFS to work for you.
