Is there a free file recovery software that will work on a network?

Guys, I lost a few files (deleted by accident or something) on my unraid server and I was wondering if there is a free program I can use to recover the files.

The thing is, I went and searched and downloaded and tried three proggies where it was claimed that they do networks but when I go to find files, it will
NOT see my server. Recuva actually sees it but the ok button is greyed out so I can't click on it. On the others, I can't find my server.

Thanks for any help and links and screen captures are very appreciated.

These utilities look at actual data blocks at the hardware level on the drive. A NAS only presents files, not block data. So the utilities cannot work.

You would need to use a feature in your NAS (if it exists) or a backup copy.
