This is a pseudo command-line GUI, somehow similar with Total Commander, Free Commander and so on from Windows. To start the mc from your browser: 1. Login first to the unRaid Web UI 2. Start a Terminal session 3. Type into the webterminal window opened as pop-up mc and hit Enter 4. Now you are in Midnight Commander With mc you have full access to the whole heart of the unRaid, hoever to avoid any damage (if you have no experience with Linux shell) my recommandation is to use ony the /mnt folder, where your unraid array and disks are mounted. ATTENTION: Please be aware that you may only copy data from disk to disk or share to share, never copy disk to share or share to disk, as this my lead to massive data corruption. Description: /mnt/cache - the cache disk(s), if you have /mnt/disk1 to /mnt/diskX- the physical disks from your array /mnt/disks - the unassigned disks to the array, if are mounted via Unassigned Devices plugin /mnt/user - the shares from all disks in array + cache disk(s) /mnt/user0 - the shares from all disks in array, without cache disk(s)
July 18, 20187 yr What's the trick to using the F-keys from webterminal? I can't seem to make anything work but the arrow and tab keys. Thanks buzz Edit: Never mind I figured it out. I was remoting from work to my home PC and launching webterminal. That won't work. F-keys get lost in the translation. Edited July 19, 20187 yr by buzzra
November 3, 20205 yr So i still don't know how to use it guys. I've got mc open in terminal. I've got a file that I need to remove. None of the keys do anything apart from f8 and that tells me Cannot stat "file.xml" Structure needs cleaning. Even just an explanation of how to launch the help would be awesome. (If it has a list of commands)
January 20, 20215 yr Anyone figured this out ? How to make function keys wotking ? F keys do some weird stuff like F3 instead of view it selects/deselects all files. Is that browser issue ?

March 13, 20224 yr Hence everything happening on server side, does Putty needs to be open during the copying files? Presume not but who knows...

Test 1 Started putty in windows Logged in to Tower Typed MC Started copying file from one mounted unassigned disk to another one Closed putty Copying stopped - clearly depends on solid connection between machine with putty and UNRAID machine. Sounds like a receipt for disaster if moving large amount of files. Test 2 Logged in to UNRAID machine through web browser Opened Terminal Typed MC Started copying file from one mounted unassigned disk to another one Closed terminal window logged out from UNRAID Success - Files are copying in the background, about the same result as "nohup mv". Just no idea how to see the progress, since going back to MC in terminal doesn't show anything. nohup mv /mnt/disk1/Movies/* /mnt/disk2/Movies & Edited March 14, 20224 yr by BeersTeddy

If you start screen before you start mc you can log back in and resume the screen session and pick back up exactly where you left off.

March 14, 20224 yr Community Expert The NerdPack plugin includes screen as one of the packages it can install.
March 14, 20224 yr DON'T go wild and install everything in the nerdpack. Have a specific reason and use for anything you select. Some tools create issues just by being installed. That's one reason why they aren't just all installed in the normal version of Unraid.

Luckily this is only testing machine, so no harm can be done, just need to start over
