OK like anything once you know how to do something it’s easy, well, I know diddly squat about Linux, I’ve tinkerd with a few live cd’s but thats about it.
I now need to do something via telnet into my nslu2 box, I want to transfer a chunk of data from one drive to another, I’m curently doing it via a windows machine but as you know in the process the data is coppied from theremote drive, to the local machine and them back to the remote machine. With 100Gb+ of data you can appreciate this is taking some time, I thought it’d be easier to telnet into the thing and get the box to do it itself. but I have no idea how.
the data needs to go from one drive to another, currently there is a share set at the root of each drive, and the data folders are the same, disk1 and disk2
\The_slug\admin 1\public
\The_slug\admin 2\public
if someone could tell me what to do I’d be most gratefull,
Okay, I wasn’t sure. Just to add, if you need to also copy subdirectories or preserve file permissions use the options -r and -p (recursive and permissions).
