How to Move Data Direct NAS->Ext USB

Thank you for the reply…

…but that’s not exactly true :wink:

Solution (for people with some linux knowledge)

Go to

http://IPaddressOfMyBook/UI/ssh

Enable SSH (turn it back off when you’ve finished).

Using something like Putty (or other telnet/ssh client), login to the MyBook using the details on the webpage screen.

rsync is installed which you can use to transfer between the MyBook and the USB storage using;

rsync -r --progress /src/ /dest/

NAS data can be found in:  /DataVolume/shares/
USB Data/target can be found in:  /var/media/CUSTOMSHARENAME/

Works a treat :slight_smile:
