I am lazy, or busy take your pick. Command line action will come once I am more familiar with Linux. For now I would like to get Midnight Commander doing what I need.

I am trying to move or copy all the files from nas2 to nas3

I tried using Midnight Commander (built into the above versions of UnRAID) to move files between my two UnRAID servers.

I went for the Shell Link option and entered the following on nas3:

      10.100.100.202

I got the following error: Cannot chdir to /#sh:10.100.100.202

 

Am I doing this wrong?

 

thanks

 

 

yes

 

you should mount the remote share - you cannot just enter an IP in your shell and expect something to happen

 

I am not sure it is possible to be done by a lazy or busy man

 

 

This How To may help.

Thanks RobJ

I have tried entering the following on nas3 (the intended destination):

 

mkdir /work

smbmount //nas2/nas2/mnt/user/nas2 /work

password: <password entered>

 

Once I have mapped /nas/whatever to /work on /nas3, should I be able to ls or dir the contens of the remote share? i.e. ls /work because I cannot.

I get the impression that /work is dropping off.

 

thanks again

 

 

I'm not a Linux expert, there are far more experienced users here that can advise you better, but a couple of things stand out.

 

I suspect that /work should be /mnt/work, or you might prefer /mnt/nas2.

 

smbmount //nas2/nas2/mnt/user/nas2 /work

 

For a single Share, I think that should be something like:  smbmount //nas2/mnt/user/ShareFolderName /mnt/nas2

 

For the whole array of User Shares, you might want to use something like:  smbmount //nas2/mnt/user /mnt/nas2

It shouldn't matter where you put the mount point.
