I would like to copy some selected files from one unRAID box to a second unRAID box (e.g. by MC).

 

How would I mount the remote machine?

 

Thanks in advance.

if you are comfortable using either the cp (copy) command, or mc (midnight commander) you can:

 

This example is assuming the other unRAID is named tower2, and the share to be copied from is named Movies

Create a mount point (an empty directory)

mkdir /mnt/other_unraid

 

Mount the exported share from the other unRAID on the mount point.

mount -t cifs  //tower2/Movies /mnt/other_unraid

 

then your files will be available on the mount-point for copy from the source directory to the target

cp /mnt/other_unraid/moviefile.avi /mnt/user/Movies/moviefile.avi

or you can type

mc

and use it to copy your files.

 

When done, un-mount using the umount command

umount /mnt/other_unraid

 

Have fun.

Thanks a lot.

 

In the old times, several years ago, I did connect from within MC with a shell link (F9/Right/Shell Link):

 

/#sh:root@tower2/Documents

 

I can't get this to work any longer. For example, I'm no longer able to get SSH to work with my 5.0RC11 installation. With 4.7 this was no problem. Even with your unMenu (cough) it doesn't work for me on rc11. I click install, enable for re-boot and on next re-boot all packages become installed except the openss* ones. There's no error, no hint in the syslog - it just works for the current session only. So, I'm using plain old Telnet with garbage characters (and this is new too with 5.0).

 

Thanks

Sorry, doesn't work. Here's what I did to connect to Tower from Tower2:

 

cd /mnt
mkdir tower1

root@Tower2:/mnt# mount -t cifs //Tower/Documents /mnt/tower1
Password:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Regards

Harald

 

I have had good luck with MC & using the FTP. In the menu find the FTP, select and enter user:pw@ip address:port. SSH didn't work for me on 5.0 rc10.

That's a really good idea. FTP worked.
