I make a snapshot of my camera with Home Assistant directly in a folder of my synology nas. That works great. Now I would like to use this file snapshot from my synology nas with Homey, so that I can send it with Pushover or mail or something like that. Does everyone know how I can make it works? ---

Yes, use [FTP Client App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.FtpClient/). You can connect to your NAS through FTP ( i also do this with this app and synology). See [[APP][Pro] FTP Client - Control FTP Servers through a directory-based UI in the Homey App or Web App - Apps - Homey Community Forum](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-ftp-client-control-ftp-servers-through-a-directory-based-ui-in-the-homey-app-or-web-app/70876) ---

Ok, thank you. Sounds good. But then I have to set up FTP directly on my synology? ---

> [@feRon](#): > > But then I have to set up FTP directly on my synology? Yeah, on your Synology you need to enable the FTP. Under Configuration–\> fileservices–\>FTP, enable FTP-service. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/3/03d5023cc5f650a1dfd96f06975807199d4a4fe2.png) Now you can log into FTP using your default users. You just need to set the group and/or access: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f8b2ffc68eb322c148382b4dd259dc1c9d0f717.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/6/a653b19ac9e87b68042e0a5ebc4c25688deb4119.png) This is only read acces, you also might want write acces 😉 After that, check if Boniour is on (this lets the network know the FTP): Under Configuration–\> fileservices–\> Advanced: After that, create a FTP Connection device in the FTP Client App: Your Synology should be in the list to select from. ---

Thank you very much. I’ll try that. And then I‘m able to say „when“ snapshot on my synology changed from the FTP client, I can send the image over pushover for example? ---

No, sorry, there is no trigger for that and i don’t think FTP supports that. Not sure how to do that with Synology tbh. How do you drop the files on it? (Windows) network? I’ll have a look into it, but i think the solution would be something with httprequest from Synology to Homey when a file is dropped in the folder. ---

Can you have HA “alert” Homey after a file is placed in the folder? ---
