Copying from root to share

Hello, I am trying to save my Plex Media Server settings to move to a different server. I have accessed the settings containing the folders via SSH and Putty. But now I'm trying to copy those...

File Sharing

I have figured it out. I was able to get to /mynasname/Videos. I swear I did this yesterday and it said it was not a directory. But now I am finally copying over my plex data! Thanks!

Asuming OS6.x, the shares are in /data. So the Videos share is /data/Videos. Don't forget to change ownership and/or permissions so you can access them using a user other than "root".

If it's an older NAS, please specify.

Thanks, Sandshark. And yes, I am on OS6.6.1.

It is saying /data/Videos is not a valid directory. (And yes, I do have a share named Videos.)

  Maybe your volume isn't called data?
  btrfs fi sh mount | grep md127

  If you are normally a DOS/Windows person (as I am) then you have to be diligent about the direction of the slashes and case sensitivity. I'm always doing a Homer Simpson "Duh!" when I get under the hood on a Linux system. Glad you figured it out.

    Nice to hear it's not just me.
    
    Don't know why Bill Gates reversed the slashes back in the day, but I really wish he hadn't.
