Moving files between disk and shares using SSH w/ GUI

Featured Replies

One of the things I use my unRAID server (4.5beta6) for is to download from usenet using SabNZBd. The download folder is a usershare created on disk4, so the path is

/mnt/disk4/Download/

. I also use a cache disk so before the mover script is called the files are actually located in

/mnt/cache/Download/

.

 

I have a usershare "Movies" on disk1,disk2,disk3, and usershares "TV Shows", "Software" and "Music" on disk4 (the same disk as the the "Download" usershare). I can move downloaded files from the terminal using SSH, but I prefer doing this in a GUI, like Cyberduck for OSX. The thing is that I'm able to move files no problem on the same disk (when in

/mnt/diskX/

), but not in or between usershares. The error I get is:

 

SSH Error: Cannot rename file

Failure (SSH_FX_FAILURE: An error occurred, but no specific error code exists to describe the failure.). An error occurred, but no specific error

 

Is this a bug? Has it something to do with permissions? Should I use another SSH library?

Use mc its way better at moving things via ssh. Especially since it handles dupes and identical fodler names properly

Thanks, but Midnight Commander doesn't handle drag and drop very well ;)

A limitation of ALL unix/linux file systems is a "mv" (move) command cannot occur between two different file-systems.  If one is attempted, the "mv" command does a copy to the new file-system, then a delete from the old file-system.  This is normally transparent to the user, other than the longsr time it takes than a "mv" within a file system. 

 

a "mv" within a file-system does not move any data, it is simply a re-name of the directory pointer that points to the data.

 

Most "unix/linux" utilities know how to work across file-systems.  Apparently, the SSH command you are using does not.

 

If you use "putty" as your telnet client, you should be able to use the mouse and cut/paste to move files around.

Thanks, so much I had figured out. Unfortunately, Putty is not available for OSX (not natively anyway) and I've tried Cyberduck, Netfinder and Disk Order so far, but all of them give an error when moving files between shares and disks.

 

Could upgrading the SSH daemon solve this problem? I'm currently running OpenSSH 5.1, but there's a 5.2 package available. Or is it really just the SFTP client?

There is another alternative...

 

If you can log into the unRAID server, and then run this command

wget -O /tmp/unweb.tgz http://www.tcpatools.com/bubba/unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz ;  installpkg /tmp/unweb.tgz

 

It will download and install the unRAID-Web add-on.

 

It then provides an alternative interface to unRAID on port 89.  To get to it, just type

//tower:89

 

One of its menu choices is AjaxExplorer, a full graphic file-browser that does support drag-and-drop from in your web-browser.  (default Login / Password to it is admin / admin)

Thanks! Just what I needed... having split view would be even greater, but you just can't have it all ;-)

 

I noticed a tab with system info, but that doesn't work with me. Do I have to install the sensor package myself?

On the left "Sysinfo" menu choice it brings up a screen with two "tabs" at its top.  Hovering on them bring additional choices.

Most seem to work on my server...  I do not have lm_sensors installed.

 

Glad it helps.
