Transfer external files to local hard drive

[shane1234]

Hello Everyone! Just installed my first openELEC on an old x86 laptop, and it seems to be working well! As somewhat of a noob however, I am wondering what would be the best way to transfer external media to the local hard drive? I have some movies on a flash drive I want to transfer to the laptop hard drive to play locally, but I'm not sure how to do that without a gui desktop. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Use the filemanager

Hi,

I’m also new to openElec and was facing a similar issue when
I had to put my existing media library to the internal harddisk of my HTPC.

The easy part is that openElec automatically detects and mount your USB
device, either USB hard disk or flash drive, if you plug it in via an USB port.

I tried 3 ways to transfer my media library:
1. Connetc USB device to openElec PC.
Then use the openElec file manager, like posted previously.
It works, but I found it a bit cumbersome.
And for my huge media library ~600G it hangs up at and stops
copying.
2. Have your media library on your host PC or connect your USP device
to it.
FTP over the WLAN form host PC to openElec HTPC.
Get your openElec IP address from the
system information and use a FTP client like e.g. FileZilla
to transfer the data
Works, but too slow.
3. This became my preferred way.
Connect a USB device to your HTPC.
Use a Putty session on your host PC and rlogin
to you HTPC. Get your HTPC IP address as described in way 2.
Copy on command line your data in the Putty Shell form the USB device
to the HTPC internal harddisk /storage/videos.
Putty is a lean SSH client which you can get form here:

When transferring such amounts of data (600+GB), I usually place the HDD in the PC with the original data, connect it via SATA, and just copy files internally. Saves a lot of copying time compared to any related network copying stuff.
