Morning all,

Hope you are good and hoping you can help. I've tried to search but am getting mixed messages.

I want to plug in an external USB drive to copy a load of files over from my array. I am running 7.1.4 and have installed the unassigned devices plugin. What GUI app is best used for file transfer nowadays. There's lots of chatter around Krusader and am seeing mixed messages as to whether it still works.

Can anyone advise or recommend an appropriate app.

Thanks in advance

You can use the built-in file manager or Midnight Commander (mc on the console).

Thankyou.

I couldn't find the inbuilt FM but have now!

One more question, disk 1 and disk 2 of the array have have similar folder structures, some look to be be the same. I'm assuming that's due to files spanning the array and not a direct copy. With that in mind, what's the best source for the files? Should I copy from each disk, or take from a User share (I have user and user0) ?

'Disks' below is my external drive.

Individual files are never spanned across drives in the Main array so there is no duplication of files.. What you are seeing is the fact that Unraid combines the top level folders on each drive to give the combined view as the User Share.

You should copy from the User Share level if you want all files in a share - that way you do not need to know which disk (or pool) the individual files ended up on.

'user' is the the standard User Share combining files across both the main array and any pools. user0 is the subset that is only on the array so you should normally avoid using this. user0 has also been deprecated as it might disappear in a future Unraid release.

Perfect, thankyou both.

Really appreciated.
