I use WinSCP's sync command to synchronise files from my PC USB drive to various USB drives on piCorePlayers. Once you set file permissions and file type it works great. :D Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices

Linux normally comes with rsync that does just what you need - not sure picoreplayer hasn't removed it. It's available as an extension. Way to go. -- Michael ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listin
