Filestation: Please Install the latest Java suitable for you

[wigwam]

This is driving me mildly crazy.

I'm on DSM 5.2-5592 Update 4

 

Doesn't matter which machine I access Xpenolgy from I keep getting the message to install the latest Java and that my Java security settings have blocked an application every time I click on file station.

 

BUT Java is up to date on every laptop or PC I am using to access the server.

 

Any clues please why it is saying this and how to resolve?

 

Thanks

I think java is used to access local drives to see them appear in filestation tree

if you turn off that option it should stop asking for it

[wigwam]

But that still doesn't explain why it keeps asking for it even though Java is up to date?

Does your browser automatically disable the Java plugin? FF for example blocks Java because it has vulnerabilities and you have the option to fully block it or ask for you to allow it on demand.

[CtrlAltDel]

Here are some images using Firefox to access local drives from within the DSM file manager.

 

Check your plugin setting

 

Blocked

 

Temporarily allowed

 

 

 

After allowing each popup the page will refresh

 

Now you can access your local drives from the DSM file manager

HI

Thanks for this helpful reply

I have tried it on IE, FF, Edge all with the same result

Java isn't blocked on IT or Edge AFAIK but I will check

Just turn off in file station settings->general->browse local files, if you dont need it of course.

[CtrlAltDel]

Maybe there is a difference between 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers? The screen shots I took were from FF 32 bit.
