I can see I'm going to have to spend a lot of time studying rsync. But for starters I decided to use cp to see if I know how to specify the destination. Thunar displays a window with files in the destination and at the top of the window is a location bar. It says 'smb://synology.local/synology/.' So from the command line in the directory where the USB drive is mounted I did cp <a small file> smb://synology.local/synology/ cp: cannot create regular file ‘smb://synology.local/synology/’: No such file or directory I also tried it without the trailing slash and again with a slash in front and got the same results. Then I tried adding http:// in front, but still no joy. For my last effort I specified the destination by the ip address of the Synology (192.168.0.101), and this time I got no error message, but it also failed to copy the file. However, when I added a slash in front of the ip address I got 'cp: cannot create regular file ‘/192.168.0.101’: Permission denied.' This reminds me that before Thunar would show the contents of the Synology I had to log into the share. I'm out of ideas.
