Copy Films

[oxigen 1]

Hi Guys

I have recorded films on the hard drive on my Solo2.
But I now have an external drive and I would like to copy them onto it ( so I can put them on my Laptop )

I know I can do this with Fileziler but it is very slow. Is there a way I can
do a copy just using the Solo2.

Thanks.... Oxigen 1

I usually ftp from box to laptop or nas direct using flash fxp (or use filezilla or any ftp program)
my duo is ethernet connected , as is my laptop, so you are transferring at lan speed which is faster than usb

I suppose you will need a file manager on the box if you wish to just use the box to copy from internal hdd to external usb stick or hdd

I am thinking maybe tuxbox ?

or maybe a telnet command using a telnet session like in VuCC ?

my thoughts are that it must be slower to copy from the vu internal hdd to a usb device plugged into it, then from usb device to your laptop (again by usb) , so doubling the time taken

surely its quicker by lan using an ftp program to copy from the duo internal hdd direct to the laptop (or a nas) ?

using usb transfer (twice) seems a much slower method to me

have you thought this through I ask myself ?
