Manual Firmware Upgrade

This assumes you already have ssh access.

Log in

# ssh user@mybookworld

Switch to root user

# su -

Set an environment variable

# export NAS_NBIN=/usr/www/nbin/

Run the firmware upgrade script specifying the location of the Firmware file on the WD website

# cd /usr/www/nbin
# ./getandapplyfw.sh http://cache.websupport.wdc.com/wdgxnc-02.00.18.wdg

How do you know it is working?
It will start to download the firmware using wget and then continue to run through the remaining steps:

wget -O /var/upgrade/latestfw.sh http://cache.websupport.wdc.com/wdgxnc-02.00.18.wdg
