Tip: If you are migrating from and old NAS to a new NAS and your watched folder path references your old Synology NAS model, here’s how to fix that:

  1. In your Synology Control Panel, make sure that SSH Service is enabled in Terminal & SNMP.

  2. In a terminal that supports SSH, issue a command like this:

    ssh -2 {AdminName}@{HostnameOrIPAddress} -p{portNumnerSpecifiedInYourControlPanel}

    Like this:

    ssh -2 admin@192.168.1.200 -p22

    When prompted, enter the appropriate password for that admin account.

  1. Follow these commands:

    a) cd /etc
    b) sudo cp synoinfo.conf OLD.synoinfo.conf (when prompted, enter your admin password; this creates a backup of the file in case you make a mistake)
    c) sudo vim synoinfo.conf (or use whatever text editor you prefer)
    - Search for the line that includes “upnpmodelname”
    - Edit the value and save the file.

  2. Reboot your NAS.
