Then I decided to just move ahead to rsync and forget about cp, but I couldn't get rsync to see the Synology. I gave up for the time being. Back to the cp command, I decided to mount the Synology locally, but I couldn't get mount to see it either: jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media/jjj/Movies$ sudo mount -t ext4 192.168.0.101 /media/jjj/Synology/ mount: special device 192.168.0.101 does not exist jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media/jjj/Movies$ sudo mount -t ext4 smb://synology.local/synology/ /media/jjj/Synology/ mount: special device smb://synology.local/synology/ does notexist I also changed '-t ext4' to '-t cifs,' but got more error messages. Then I tried df -k, but it didn't see the Synology. Looking at the df man page I see why - apparently df looks only at the local filesystem. I note that both rsync and mount are not seeing the Synology. It seems to me that my big problem is giving the command line the right syntax to specify it. It's IP address is 192.168.0.101 and Thunar shows it in the location bar as smb://synology.local/synology/, and in its shortcut panel Thunar calls it '/synology/ on synology.local.' I've tried all of those, plus some variations that I thought of, but so far I haven't hit on the right combination. If rsync doesn't need it to be mounted locally, then I should just forget about cp and mounting it. But I still need the proper command line syntax for rsync to see it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
