Networking :: Copying Files Over A Network
Jan 8, 2010
While copying a large amount of data between two linux computers I noticed strange behaviour. The network card activity (computer copying the files) would be dormant for 30 second to a minute and then flash rapidly for just 5 second or so. This repeated for the duration of the copying progress (approx 2 hours at a supposedly constant 5-7MB/s).
The share that I was copying to was via SSH using "connect to server" from the GNOME menu. I was expecting the see the network card activity light constantly flash. I wondered if someone could explain this strange behaviour that I have witnessed.

I have a debian box, a.ces.school.edu, in my lab and my laptop also runs debian (on another DHCP lan home network outside school). I can access my lab's debian computer from outside school only by first ssh-ing to a server setup by the school - access.ces.school.edu, and then, from the server ssh-ing to my lab computer. That works fine and I can view all my files on my lab computer from home.
But, I would like to copy some files from my lab computer to my home computer. With scp, I know how to do that if I could connect directly with my school computer. In the present scenario, I can't figure out how to copy files.
Does anyone know how this can be done?

Copying my Thunderbird files to another machine
Two questions:
1. Can I copy xx.default to DVD, its 1.5GB in size, and then merge it into the xx.default of the other machine or try and connect through a crossover cable. I tried to copy onto a flash drive but it did not recognize Inbox.sbd as a folder.
2. How do I manager the existing files in the receiving machine, it has an existing mail account.

Having trouble running backup software to network storage. (Ubuntu 10.04 Beta)
I mounted my network drive (a Netgear Stora) with curlftps (tried several other ways, but this is the only way that works). It shows up like a regular HDD which I can copy files to in the file manager, but when I try running backup software only the folders are copied.
I've tried several backup programs, some based on Rsync, as well as Rsync itself, but they all had problems. Dj Dup kind of worked and was able to copy files (archives), but kept dropping the ethernet connection instead.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation and have Ubuntu Server 10.10 installed on a HP Proliant MicroServer. A NFS share is configured on the MicroServer and successfully mounts from workstation PC/ Ubuntu 10.10 The issues: Copying files to an NFS share on the microserver is very, very slow. Whilst files copied to the NFS share are visible to the workstation, they don't appear when using 'ls' on the server. despite the folder owner/ user account on the Microserver and the workstation having the same name and sharing the same UID & GID (1000), copies made from the workstation have a different UID & GID

I have iomega appliance, which is based on Debian distribution. There is an NFS share that I have created which is without password.Since it is without password, there are some viruses copied. I want to find out which IP address is the source of these files. In other words, I want to know which PC is copying these infected files on the NFS share.

I just tried NFS for the first time after reading that it's considerably faster than SSHFS, which I currently use, but I'm experiencing slow write speeds and problems while copying files in nautilus.

host A: Fedora 7 has bind 9.4.2
host B: Fedora 11 has bind 9.6.1
I want to migrate my bind configuration from A to B I've read the release notes and man pages and I can't see why copying
/etc/named*
and
/var/named/*
I checked /etc/sysconfig/named too... Seems to have no effect on my brand new install on Fedora 11. Host B stays basically un-configured.

I've discovered that Dolphin seems to lose random files when copying many large folders.
I first noticed this a few months ago when I tried to copy my music library from one folder to another on the same HDD. It consisted of around 600 folders and 6500 files. During the copy there were no errors but after the copy I found that some of the newly copied folders were missing files. I put it down to human error or a glitch.
Yesterday I tried to copy 13 folders containing rips of some of my DVDs. Each folder basically had one film of either 700MB or 1.4GB. Again no errors showed up during the copy but I found 3 of the newly copied folders were empty.
It's not so critical with music or films but I can't afford to lose work data like this.
Has anyone experienced or seen a similar problem with Dolphin? I'm going to have to do some more extensive testing but this is not good.
The first time I noticed the problem I was running KDE4.3.4 (I think) and now the latest was with KDE4.4.0.

I created a VMware Workstation VM with OpenSUSE 11.2. When I copy the VM to a new location the network configuration disappears. If I go into the networking control panel and save, the interface names are changed. Originally had 2 nics as "eth0" and "eth1", copy the vm, configure network and the interfaces are now "eth2" and "eth3". How do I get back to my original configuration?

My Source folder contains 424.8 GB in 502,474 files. My Destination folder was created fresh, and after the copy contains 394.0 GB in 486.514 files. I am running it as grsync with root authority. The only options are to preserve time, permissions, owner and group., and to produce a verose output and transfer progress. There are no exceptions specified to skip any files.
The rsync command is this:
rsync -r -t -p -o -g -v --progress -c -l -H -D -s /mnt/Backups/monthly.3/ /mnt/EX-Fantom/monthly.3/
I have run it again to give it a chance to get it right. Same result. The source is in an rsnapshot folder, but this is the first backup, the original, containing only whole files, not links.

I had to leave rather suddenly (decision was Germany's, not fiancee's), and now am in the States again, but my files are still there. There are lots of things (mainly photos) on there, that I would like to have here. SOME stuff is on CD/DVD, but there is stuff that isn't.
Is there some way that I could access her computer and just copy files to mine?
(I picture two folders, one on hers, one on mine, and I just dragging an icon from one to the other - but I don't suppose anything's THAT easy...)
Naturally, her computer would have to be on, and I assume she could not be using it herself. Naturally also, I would get her permission first...
I assume that it would take a while, but if it were as simple as the icon thing I described above, then I could just go away and come back later. I assume something would be running to make sure that the destination file and source file were identical before proceeding to the next file.
[Before you suggest: why doesn't she just copy the files to DVD's and mail them to me? She is not all that computer saavy, I'm afraid, and trying to explain it all, including the exact folder names and such, Plus, how to use a DVD/CD burner and software... Plus translate it all into German... If I were rich enough, I could just go there and do what I needed, but that is not in the cards for the present. ]
IS there a way to copy stuff from her computer to mine?

I have a new network attached storage unit that I'm trying to transfer my data to. On this NAS, it has a very basic linux installed with SSH enabled. Browsing through the programs installed on it, i found smbclient. Am I able to copy files directly from my old NAS to my new one using smbclient?It would sure beat transfering 950GB from my old NAS through a computer then onto my new NAS.

I'm running squeeze on i686, my last update was this morning (9/9/2010). Running the stock kernel 2.6.32-5-686
My PC keeps crashing when copying files. The monitor displays the desktop, but the mouse doesn't move, nothing responds and I can't even ssh in to debug it.
This happens when copying files using nautilus and the command line. I'm trying to copy files from my local hard disk to an nfs drive which is mounted in my system and has been working fine for years.
how to debug this after a hard reboot?
This has only just started happening, last night was the first time.

I've observed that if I copy a directory containing some files to an USB stick, files whose names are all upper-case are copied with all lowercase names. Is this expected behavior? The USB stick is shared with a Windows box.

During my backups I'm finding that rsync is copying all files, instead of just what's changed.
I'm rsyncing between 2 USB external hard drives. One hard drive is FAT32 and one is NTFS. I've examined some of the files and believe that the difference is that there's a 1-second modtime difference developing in some of the files somehow.
Here's an example. These duplicity files were synced from /media/BACKUPHD (the NTFS drive) to /media/VIDEOHD (the FAT32 drive) only a few hours ago this morning. They have not been touched or changed since then, but that 1-second difference in their time stamps has appeared:
Code:
tim@localhost:~> stat /media/BACKUPHD/backups/duplicity/duplicity-full.20110107T145955Z.vol10.difftar.gpg File: `/media/BACKUPHD/backups/duplicity/duplicity-full.20110107T145955Z.vol10.difftar.gpg'

I just read the Linux scp command issue question and it reminded me that I regularily forget to specify the colon in the host part of a scp command, and thus copying a file locally instead of copying to a remote host, e.g. I do
scp foo host
instead of
scp foo host:
But I never use scp to copy a file locally. So I wonder if there is a way to make scp fail if both (the source and destination) arguments refer to local files.
