Necrotic Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What do you mean by user folder? you mean on the flash drive? or just a regular usershare? Quote Link to comment
skoub Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 the flash drive is in the /boot/ folder. What i want is to access is /usr/local/ Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 You can make a soft link to any directory within a share. try this: ln -s /usr /mnt/user/[i]myshare[/i]/usr Quote Link to comment
mrow Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What do you need to access in those folders? You can edit text files from right within a telnet/ssh session. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 the flash drive is in the /boot/ folder. What i want is to access is /usr/local/ You do know that folder is in RAM? Anything written there will not survive reboot. Quote Link to comment
skoub Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 im not a linux power user so editing files in "dos" mode is not something i want to do. I would like to use Notepad++. i would like to edit the SimpleFeatures web page and try a few things 'live'. Presently, the only way to do that is to edit SimpleFeature package files and reinstall it to try my modification. This is a long process! Maybe there's another shortcut? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sorry, hit modify by accident. You can make a soft link to any directory within a share. try this: ln -s /usr /mnt/user/[i]myshare[/i]/usr Quote Link to comment

publicENEMY Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 hi everyone! i would like to access some files in the usr folder within windows. Is it possible? Can i share this folder or use a tool to access this folder? alex i would highly recommend for you to use ssh. assuming you are not linux power user, here are the steps 1. download and install openssh plugin by overbryn https://github.com/overbyrn/ssh/raw/master/openssh_overbyrn.plg info here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20848.0 2. make sure ssh service is up(manage plugin in unraid webui) 3. install winscp http://winscp.net/eng/index.php 4. run winscp 5. select new -> put unraid ip/hostname at host name. make sure file protocol is sftp 6. enter root as username and your password 7. login 8. you will see ftp like interface. since you log as root, you can do what the hell that you want. 9. if you want to quick edit a file, right click and edit. im a windows user(though i use linux at work, a lot) and i hate to use command line. winscp/ssh is my saviour.
