Well i don’t think they are trolling i imagine they legitamately don’t realize that is what the poster is wanting. It’s not very clear

They are requesting a context menu option, no? And the ability to move multiple items?

You can copy as many as youd like too. What more do they want?

It does have those abilities. Does op just want to rename them?

I believe you can set up a http stream and then have others connect to it

I use the app it is for android but it already has that feature: https://paste.tchncs.de/upload/bear-wolf-eagle

I use material files and when you press the cut icon, it literally says “move to” while you are selecting the destination

Where does it write the file

You mean before?

Well i gave it readonly access to / because i am trying to sync /etc /home and /root. Is there a way to give access to multiple locations?

I have decided to use rrsync to do this.

Im using btrfs on the back drive but using ext4 on the remote devices. Wont the snapshots, if sent to a remote device be the same size as the original data?

I’ve tried it before but i want a situation where i dont need to use the ssh agent. I think i’m gonna go with using rrsync

I have tried but it doesn’t really work in the script. You load the key into the agent but it still asks for the passphrase

Yeah this is what im leaning towards

Yeah, i think im gonna look into rrsync and try to set up a user with a password-less key

Because i don’t like have passphraseless keys on my devices, i may just be being paranoid.

I use it too but i like rsync better for backups

I probably will eventually. I put btrfs on it and it works pretty well. Im a little iffy on the windows driver but i tested obs and it can write over the network just fine.

Yeah it seems like it was a permissions error. I set the tight permissions and now i have it working

Ok i’m running into some issues. I have formatted with btrfs but immediately it does not work when attempting to mount.

I had it mounted and then set up with fstab, test installing some games to it but the second i ejected the device and then reattached it it cannot be mounted.

I get the error

An error occurred while accessing 'wd_black5tb', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I also installed winbtrfs with chocolatey but the drive fails to show up once plugged in and i dont see the drive anywhere
