July 3, 201412 yr Hi All, First post and Linux beginner so please be gentle! I think this might be a generic Linux question but I'm having trouble searching for an answer. I've tried many things but I'm getting a bit lost. I have an Unraid server (with Serviio) previously populated with music from a Windows XP machine either by dragging files across windows explorer or using Puppy (I think?) and a USB hard drive (Less convenient but faster). Now the Windows XP machine has been replaced by a Wheezy laptop I would like to copy files from the laptop to the Unraid server. I tried gFTP (on the laptop) but couldn't figure out how to connect it to the server. I'm also a bit confused about FTP/SMB/etc. I don't mind using terminal because I'm a bit wary about installing and uninstalling lots of apps. Thank you for any help.
July 3, 201412 yr You can connect to the unRAID server from the Wheezy file manager (just like you would from the Windows File Manager) and see the shares on the unRAID server. This will use the SMB protocol just like the windows case. No additional software will need installing to achieve this.
July 3, 201412 yr Author Thank you, that sounds perfect. I think this was set up this way before I upgraded from Squeeze. There was a bookmark with SMB://192.etc but this just brought up an error message (I think about permissions - I am away from my laptop at the moment) so I deleted it. Accessing the Unraid GUI via chrome on the laptop is fine.
