April 27, 201313 yr 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
April 27, 201313 yr What do you mean by user folder? you mean on the flash drive? or just a regular usershare?
April 27, 201313 yr Author the flash drive is in the /boot/ folder. What i want is to access is /usr/local/
April 27, 201313 yr You can make a soft link to any directory within a share. try this: ln -s /usr /mnt/user/[i]myshare[/i]/usr
April 27, 201313 yr What do you need to access in those folders? You can edit text files from right within a telnet/ssh session.
April 27, 201313 yr 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.
April 27, 201313 yr Author 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?
April 28, 201313 yr 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
April 30, 201313 yr Author 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 great... it worked well! thank you!
May 1, 201313 yr 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.

I was actually just going to post this same thing.
