Yes and no. WinSCP is basically just a GUI interface for an SSH client. It may still be up to the user to issue specific Linux commands to get the copy process to run in the background on the My Cloud so the user can then close the WinSCP application while the copy process continues on the My Cloud.
Really though just about any SSH client can be used to issue Linux cp
or rsync
commands to the My Cloud OS and then leave it to the OS to run the copy while the client application window is closed. Assuming of course WD didn’t remove things like nohup
from the My Cloud OS. Its just a matter of issuing the right string of commands like nohup
in addition to the cp
or rsync
commands. Later one can reconnect via SSH to check on the status of the cp
or rsync
process using jobs -l
or top
.
