    Evening Lads,
    As the title suggests,is it possible to copy recordings directly from one DM800 HDD to another DM800 HDD without first FTPing files to PC then to other DM800 ?
    I need to do this as one of the boxes has a flash drive mounted as a HDD and need to transfer recordings to the other 800 that has a decent sized HDD installed when the flashy gets full.
    Cheers

    Any use of FTP or telnet from the PC seems to get the files from the receiver, to the PC and then to the other receiver, so it is a bit long winded. You could always set up samba shares on your receiver, and mount the other receiver's drive as a sharem then use filebrowser plugin to copy and paste the files. To be honest whichever method you use it will take a very long time, I have a few gigabytes of stuff that have been on about 5 different receivers/HDDs and each time I do a transfer it is a couple of overnight jobs, and never goes smoothly. Quickest way is to get a HDD caddy, copy to PC and paste back to the other HDD directly rather than over a network.

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....
