Copy recordings

[mihaid]

I set up the hummy as a drive on my computer. Then I copied some recordings from the hummy drive to my D drive. When I tried to do the reverse it would not work because the hummy drive gets reported as 61MB, even though it has 100GB free, and my recording is bigger so I get the answer not enough space. Is there another way to transfer via network?

Presumably you mean using Samba. I'd not noticed that till now.
If your share is "/media", then as that is on a temp-filesystem which is 64MB in size, it reports slightly less as free space.
If you modify the share to be "/media/My Video", then that is on the hard disk partition and the real free space is reported.

mine is reporting as my video as this

That image is virtually illegible. You need to edit /mod/etc/smb.conf as described above.

That was a lot more precise, thank you. I've done it now. Excellent

"I set up the hummy as a drive on my computer" is not exactly precise. It could have meant lots of combinations of things potentially, including your skill level. I pitched my answer to match your question!

I knew that samba does not report the correct drive space to a remote connection, thanks for the fix.

But it does report the correct drive space and Samba works as well or as badly as anything else.
Try "df -h /media" and "df -h /media/My\ Video" and see the difference.
The key is getting the correct mount point.

<sigh>

For correct read desired.

I fail to see how you expect it to tell you the right answer if you ask it the wrong question...
