OK, this is going to show my ignorance here, but I have to ask.

 

I want to transfer my movie files from the USB drive, which is mounted to unraid, to the array. I can explore the two shared drives on windows XP and transfer that way, but is there a way to telnet in and transfer them directly with in the machine?

 

Again, thanks for any help.

Log in via telnet, then type

mc

to invoke midnight-commander.

 

The disks are all mounted under /mnt

 

 

if you use "putty" as your telnet client you can even use your mouse.  If you do not use putty, but use the windows telnet, you will need to use Escape-1 through Escape-0 for the function keys F1 through F10.

You can use the mv or cp command in a telnet session

Thank you erikatcuse, that is great. Now if there is a way to run a batch of transfers, I will be very happy.

 

THanks,

Easiest way for Linux newbee, use multiple telnet sessions, each with a separate command to copy the desired files.

 

Slightly more difficult, use wild-cards and use a target directory.  All the files matching the name given will be copied.

 

cp /mnt/disk/hda/*.ISO  /mnt/disk1/Movies/

 

Quickest perhaps is copy the entire disk, with the existing directory hierarchy

cp -a /mnt/disk/hda/*  /mnt/disk1/Movies/

 

Obviously, you need to use the correct disk as the source (I used "hda" as an example. If you have more than one IDE drive, your USB drive might be a different device)

 

You also need to create a top level directory on each of your disks to hold the files.   I use "Movies" "Pictures" "Mp3" ... you can use anything you like.

 

If you want to follow along as the copy proceeds, add the -v option (requesting verbose output)

 

cp -v /mnt/disk/hda/*.ISO  /mnt/disk1/Movies/

or

cp -av /mnt/disk/hda/*  /mnt/disk1/Movies/
