How to save rstats file to USB?

[seg]

I am trying to save my bandwidth stats to my USB drive on the RT-N66U. I am trying to save to a "custom location" and I set the "save history location" as /tmp/mnt/sdb1/tomato_rstats_60a44cd48910.gz. I set "create new file" and saved. The file shows up in the directory as I described, but I can't open the file with the archive manager which reports "file not found" even though the file shows up in the directory listing.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

What is "the archive manger" you are using?
Can you try to copy the file first to another location and then open it? It could be blocked by the routers firmware for writing and cannot be opened by the archive manger for writing (again)...

With kind regards

Sorry for the long lag time. For some reason, my original reply did not get posted. I use the "File Roller" archive manager supplied with my Debian Linux distribution. It does .gz files. I can move the file to my Desktop and it opens with FR but it contains only "RT01" If I look at "Data" on say the "Daily" page, it shows

2013,6,25,139329,9433
2013,6,24,576336,21438
2013,6,23,282616,18254
2013,6,22,72440,7174
2013,6,21,5919,1159

So the data is there but not getting to the file.

Hi,

I checked my rstats file and the reason you do not see the information is that they are not stored in clear text, but in binary in the file.

Try to unzip the file and open it with an editor who is capable to show more the just text.
You will still not be able to read the information, but you will see that there is more in it...

I doubt, that you can decode the rstat file without further investiation of the routers firmware.
