How to Transfer Share/Folder from one box to another
I have 2 RN102 boxes and i am looking to transfer 1 folder from box 1 to box 2. I want to do this with out using my laptop as the middle man for the data and i am new to this whole thing. I setup...
Ok, i got it...
the original post said to setup the back-up on the receiving box. That was where the mistake was made.... it should have been a back-up coming from the sending box.
I tried resetting the permissions when doing the back-up from the receiving box... Didn't work. Once i setup the back-up from the sending box everything worked great through NFS
So... Mission Accomplished.
Thanks!
Ok.. the 1st attempt was working but didn't copy the entire folder. It got about 33% through and stopped. The receiving box says that the back-up was completed and i checked the log and saw no errors. Out of 1147 files only 382 were moved. I don't know if there was a quota or some setting that stopped the transfer. I have since started the back-up again to see where it ends up.
Are these boxes able to be connected together with a USB cable and have them recognize each other? If so i would probably just do that instead.

No.

Odd. Did you try resetting the share permissions on the source?

I am not quite sure how to do that. Do the permisssions have to be reset on just the box that the share started on?
I'd reset on both. The reset control is on the file access tab of the share settings.

Either way works - so that shouldn't have mattered. I always run the backups on the receiving box.
