Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

Is there a way to copy files direct from Drive 1 to Drive 2 without going through the network? I am thinking there has to be a way. Is there a tutorial for a newbie to try this? TIA!

Re: Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

same question as Mealto really..

I dont want to install any backup software, as this is a one off move due to a harddrive upgrade.

I'm fully Fonz'ed, and telnet'ed. Is there not a command I can use in Telnet to simply copy drive A>B

I'm moving 750GB so would save me some time NOT using the network

Re: Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

cp - or if you have fonz fun_plug, rsync

What that tutorial does is show you how to create a script that does the copy at specific intervals, it uses rsync to do the heavy lifting.  If you don't want it to run repeatedly don't create the script, simply enter the commands at the command prompt.

Re: Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

ok, tried reading that thread and it was a little above me. I can SSH into a server and do simple copy, move, edit functions so is there a simple tutorial that can show a newbie how to telnet in and copy files from one drive to another (with syntax)? Thanks for the patience.

I think this is all you need:

- telnet into the DNS-323
- enter the following command to copy all files from Volume_1 to Volume_2:
   cp -a /mnt/HD_a2/* /mnt/HD_b2

Re: Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

ok, got the syntax. In order to telnet in, do I need to run the fun_plug first? Thought I could just SSH in to the IP address but apparently not.

Re: Manualyl Copying from 1 drive to another

Telnet and/or SSH requires fun_plug installed.  The easiest way to do this is to get fonz' fun_plug package, which comes with telnet enabled by default:
