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...
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.

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.

If you want to push it one step further:
1. Install Git SCM for Windows: https://git-for-windows.github.io/
2. Add "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" to your %PATH%.
3. Enjoy using Linux commands with Windows style path:
C:\>ls -1sh "C:\Program Files\Git" total 2.7M 20K LICENSE.txt 96K ReleaseNotes.html 0 bin 4.0K cmd 0 dev 4.0K etc 140K git-bash.exe 148K git-cmd.exe 0 mingw64 0 tmp 1.1M unins000.dat 1.3M unins000.exe 24K unins000.msg 0 usr C:\>cat "%ProgramFiles%\Git\etc\install-options.txt"
