This May not be the best place to ask but here goes.
What is the easiest way to move my existing (on my PC) files to my FreeNas server.
Location will be mnt/myVolume/media/videos/movies.
The issue I have is that they are all in One Folder and need to be individual folders. Can I drop them into SabNZB download folder for processing ? Not much luck so far finding a good movie file to folder app.
Thanks
Will most likely be using WinSCP to move files/folders around.

If you ultimately want CouchPotato to manage these files, you can import a folder of movies on the Wanted tab > ... > Manual Folder Scan
You could put them all in media/temp/ and CP would organize them away into its specified movie folder.

This probably won't work very well/efficient if it can't figure out the movie from the filename. This is why I always try to have NFO files in the same folder as my movies, with the IMDB URL in them. CP/Plex/Emby/Kodi all understand how to deal with this.

Create a CIFS share to that directory.
