   with the url. it is also not working.
 * I don`t know what the problem is, I hope you can help me.
 * Kind regards Thomas

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * If you are trying the URL method, this could mean that your server is not able
   to connect to the NAS.
    Where is the server located? Is it in the same network
   as the NAS, or is it a live server in the internet, while the NAS is in your 
   local network? Can the NAS be reached from the outside or is there maybe some
   sort of router or firewall blocking the access?
 * To check whether this is not related to the file that you want to import, can
   you maybe upload the file to a server on the internet and try with that URL?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hello,
 * My nas is located on my home network.
    I have made a shared link where the file
   can be downloaded from. The link is : [http://wjongsma.synology.me:5000/fbsharing/Qwsl0vJL](http://wjongsma.synology.me:5000/fbsharing/Qwsl0vJL)
 * When you open that link you can reach the nas so that isn`t the problem

 * Hi Thomas,
 * ok, then it might be possible that your server for some reason can not access
   that URL. Does the import from a URL work for other “live” URLs (not on your 
   NAS)?

 * Hi Tobias,
 * When I try to acces this file on another site of me [http://luitdesign.nl/1.xlsx](http://luitdesign.nl/1.xlsx)
 * the import function is working

 * Hi,
 * ok, that then confirm my assumption that your server does not like something 
   with the connection to the NAS 🙁 Maybe it’s the port in the URL, or maybe it’s
   the mime type that the server sends. This is nothing though that I can change
   or influence in TablePress, but it’s a server issue 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias
