Yes. Play with apple and apples, not apples and oranges.
Your item (a) is the key. You've used some (undisclosed, perhaps
Finder?) app to copy files from your Mac's HFS+ file system to a
cr*p MS file system - either NTFS or FAT (per the Storango's
doc). That's just not good. While the individual file's data
forks on that NAS may be intact, the file system you've created is
essentially corrupted - broken filenames, missing metadata etc.
This is further complicated because that NAS box doesn't support
Apple's native file sharing protocol, AFP. It only supports raw
ip (http and ftp) and MS things, like SMB. ... and you haven't
disclosed which method you're using.
this is a year-old problem that I have left alone (once the NAS-
flakey thing reared its head) rather than lose data. I just
yesterday bought, in desperation, a SEAGATE goflex 3T drive that I'm
using to shuffle a mass of projects into for re-organisation. I have
this mess of WD 500G and 1T drives that are failing, 3 Glyph 500G
carts that have non-backed-ip projects, and all of it is horrendously
organized so that finding things is a trip down my 5-years-back
memory lane as to what is where.
My overall goal is get it all in findable places and backed up somehow.
That's what the NAS was -supposed- to be over a year ago... things
have not gotten better in the interim.
