March 13, 201610 yr Install the Unassigned Devices plugin. https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45807.0
March 13, 201610 yr Author Once the plugin installed how do I do? For example I want to copy the directory "dir1" of usb disk to share "video" of the server unRAID ?
March 13, 201610 yr Midnight Commander is what I use from unRAID console. or either Krusader or Dolphin docker applications (or even do it through Windows and the network)
March 13, 201610 yr Midnight Commander is what I use from unRAID console. or either Krusader or Dolphin docker applications (or even do it through Windows and the network) Dockers would be fine but why use Windows and the network for a share mounted with unassigned devices directly on the unRAID server?

I agree, but the question was Once the plugin installed how do I do? For example I want to copy the directory "dir1" of usb disk to share "video" of the server unRAID ? and that is an option Correct but you quoted me. I would expect a windows transfer without using any plugins in unRAID since you are going from a Windows box with the usb disk connected to the unRAID box across the network. Something I also do quite frequently.
March 13, 201610 yr The OP didn't mention a Windows box. He asked how to mount an NTFS formatted USB drive. I suggested the UD plugin, not Squid. To my mind the question had no relevance to unRAID otherwise.
March 13, 201610 yr My post stands. Quoted the response about MC and offered up other alternatives to avoid dropping into a command line. The response about MC came after the suggestion to install UD, and my suggestions all require UD to be installed
March 14, 201610 yr Author First thank you for your help I'll clarify my question: I connect a USB ntfs disk on a USB port of the server unRAID On the other hand I have my shares on unRAID server, among other "video" What tool used to copy a directory "dir1" from the USB ntfs disk to the "video" share ?
March 14, 201610 yr Community Expert First thank you for your help I'll clarify my question: I connect a USB ntfs disk on a USB port of the server unRAID On the other hand I have my shares on unRAID server, among other "video" What tool used to copy a directory "dir1" from the USB ntfs disk to the "video" share ? You can do it locally on the unRAID server using something like the 'mc' (Midnight Command) tool from a console/ssh session at the Linux command line level. There are also dockers that can be installed to provide a graphical method of file management locally to the unRAID server but I do not think most people bother with this extra complexity. Alternatively you can do it over the network using your normal desktop file manager on your PC/Mac as the Unassigned Devices plugin will expose the drive as a new share. However in this case you could just as easily have plugged the drive directly into the PC/Mac and copied it so not sure which you will find more convenient.
March 14, 201610 yr Author Until now I used the copy over the network, but I find that performance is not terrible
March 14, 201610 yr Community Expert Just google Midnight Commander. It isn't any more difficult to use than those dockers, and doesn't require any setup.
March 15, 201610 yr Author I find that MC is not easy to use for someone who's not used I would try using Dolphin Someone can help me ?
March 15, 201610 yr To volume mappings add /mnt mapped to /mnt. Once in dolphin navigate to root then mnt and do what you need to do
March 15, 201610 yr Author Thank you for using Dolphin Dolphin shows well my usb drive ntfs, but it does not display any directories and files
March 15, 201610 yr Community Expert Dockers cannot see anything mounted after the docker service starts. Go to Settings - Docker and stop then restart docker. Just another one of those things that made me suggest Midnight Commander in the first place.
March 15, 201610 yr Author It's good I see the contents of my USB disk How to copy a directory of this disc to a server share with Dolphin?
January 28, 20233 yr Community Expert 34 minutes ago, iwryou said: I know that this thread is dead but I still wanted to say thanks Why? Most of the information in this thread is obsolete. What are you trying to do?
February 5, 20233 yr I just wanted to plug in an external drive through the USB and after reading this I realized that I needed to install a plugin and was able to do so.
