The workaround is to issue nohup with the rsync or cp/mv command when using SSH. That way the command(s) issued via SSH will continue running when the SSH terminal connection is closed. Lengthy explanation was posted in another WD support subforum about this issue a little over a month ago.
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. …
Which defeats the purpose of having the copy process run entirely from the My Cloud without the need for a computer. In my case if I kill the WinSCP application the copy stops entirely when copying from the My Cloud to a USB hard drive attached to the My Cloud. If I leave a separate SSH session running that means I have to leave both the WinSCP (default settings) and the PC running. WinSCP is a good program but does have some limitations.
Its a fundamental problem if one wants to run managemen…
