Like all advice, if the user is not familiar with command they should read the all the help relevant to their system to ensure they understand what is being advised and that they are not going to do anything detrimental to their system. I do not know OSX in detail, it behaves like Linux but at times it has quirks which can cause problems. It is up to the user to check that my advice is correct for their system. On the assumption it is like Linux. "scp" copies files from one location to another. In this case the downloaded and unzipped ".lua" source file is on the local system (i.e. OSX) and the destination is the Touch/Radio. When using the scp command if the source file is just a name (i.e no full or partial directory path) then the scp will look for the file in the current directory. So for the example given in post 1, the downloaded and unzipped lua file must be in the current directory of the shell running in the Terminal window. If the downloaded and unzipped lua file is not in the current directory of the shell running in the Terminal window, then the user must provide the directory path of the source file as well as the source file name in the scp command You can check what files are in the current directory by using the "ls" command. You can check what is the current directory by using the "pwd" command. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103293 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
