copying files from B2 to USB

[vijay...@gmail.com]

Hi all

I want to copy some albums from the B2 to a USB stick.  I did this once, a long time ago, and I had to log into the computer to manually copy files from the command line.  This was very quick and painless.  I'm happy to still do this, but unfortunately, I can't remember how.

Can someone please remind me?  

I actually like this method more than fiddling with the menu options in the front.  I want to copy more than a dozen albums and doing it from a terminal is so much faster.

Thanks

Hi Vijay,

You probably used NAS mode where you could see the files on the B2's HDD on your computer. So -

Make sure NAS on the B2 is on - Maintenance menu >> Start NAS

Go to 'network' on your computer - you should see BRENNANB2 after a while

Select this and enter the user name (root) and password (brennan)

This will display two folders - music and playlist

Click on music and you will see a list of Artists

Click on one of these to see the Albums

You can copy and paste these files as you would for any computer files.

Thanks Paul.  This is great.  

This isn't what I did before -- I opened Terminal on my Mac, logged in to the Brennan via the Terminal, and copied files and albums using Linux/Unix commands.  But that was 3 years ago, and I don't remember what I did then.

However, this is just as easy.  Thanks again.

Best

Vijay
