How can I move files from my Synology to my PC remotely? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 09:08 Sorry I don’t know where else to ask this. I am running Jellyfin and want to move these files to my pc server from my synology. the Synology and PC are on the same network and I can access the PC remotely. I have Tailscale access to the PC and the PC has network SMB share access to the NAS. I know the IPs and the drive folders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 09:31 Huh ? Are you running jellyfin on the Synology as a docker container ? And that is what you want to move to the PC Or Are you saying you want to move the media content from the Synology to the PC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- coronanona · 2023-10-07 09:46 just use sftp to download them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 09:52 The latter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 10:06 Just move them copy n paste bro , if they are on the same network map a drive from your PC to the amb share , copy paste done ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-07 10:45 Login via RDP on the pc, open the NAS network share, copy/move the data. You can disconnect (via the x) from the RDP session and reconnect afterwards. Do not logo out of the session if you want the transfer to run while not connected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 11:03 There are three devices bro. I don’t know how to copy and paste remotely. That is my whole question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 11:10 Can I RDP without first setting it up one the remote computer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 11:13 On the PC , map a network drive to the share on the synology and then copy paste ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 11:20 Once again how do I copy and paste from the Synology to the PC mapped on one network when my pc is remote on a different network though can Tailscale into the PC on the local network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-07 11:31 If you can’t RDP into your running pc by using the Tailscale IP probably not. Do you have remote hands at the location of your PC available? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 11:52 Can you get to the PC that is on the same network as the Synology ? , if yes then map the drive to the share on the synology and copy and paste ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 12:26 The synology is mapped to the PC on the same network. I can Tailscale to that PC but I don’t know how to control it once I’m connected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-07 12:27 Thank you. That’s a good idea! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 12:36 It's a PC , you don't know how to control a PC ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dazchad · 2023-10-07 13:33 OP probably means they don’t have a UI to work with. Tailscale only establishes a TCP connection, so one could RDP or SSH to. OP apparently don’t know how to do those things ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 13:55 Use cmd and mstsc then ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-07 14:00 Then configure RDP via TeamViewer and try to connect to it while still on TeamViewer. If it works, do what I wrote earlier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dazchad · 2023-10-07 15:01 How to open cmd when all you have is a TCP connection? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- emprahsFury · 2023-10-07 16:13 RDP is what Mando would call *the way* to remotely access Windows computers. You can use net commands or PS or xcopy or like psexec even, but how do you have access to the PC if it isn't RDP? If the PC already had SMB shares from the synology then you just copy/paste/move the files from the share. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluffer_Wuffer · 2023-10-07 16:27 I just RDP into the PC, and move them using explorer... alternative, setup some kind of Cron to move. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- therealSoasa · 2023-10-07 17:02 On the PC you are sat behind ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jerwong · 2023-10-07 18:16 Jellyfin has a built in download function. Just log into it, find the media you want, and click the three dots for the "Download Media" option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- esturniolo · 2023-10-08 00:05 Tailscale now supports file transfer (inAlpha State) It’s called Taildrop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sexpusa · 2023-10-08 01:45 Yeah that seems perfect but it seems I have to be onsite to set it up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zee_G68 · 2023-10-08 04:31 You can use Rsync. It pushes data from one server to another. Alternative is to bind mound your ps share to your NAS. It alows seeing your pc folder as a folder on the NAS and simply using copy / paste from one folder to an other on your nas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lacionredditor · 2023-10-08 07:27 you install midnight commander one of the machines. you ssh to that 1st machine and launch midnight commander. its now as if you are physically at the 1st machine. then you login to the 2nd machine from midnight commander on the 1st machine through ftp or sftp. you start transferring files between 1st and 2nd machine.
