So, for example, if you wanted to move a bunch of movies from Disk1 to Disk2, you could use this command from a Telnet (PuTTY or otherwise) prompt. Your command prompt will return immediately. If you put 'nohup' before any command and an ampersand (&) afterwards, the command will run in the background until it is complete. The key is the 'nohup' command (nohup means 'no hang up'). If the Telnet session ends, so does the copy or move operation.īut with a little knowledge of Unix commands, you can easily start moving files around your unRAID server and then shut down Telnet and your workstation. But if you use mc from a Telnet prompt from your Windows (or other) workstation, you will have to leave the computer on and the Telnet session open until the disk operations are complete. If you go to the unRAID server and run Midnight Commander from there, you can use it to move a bunch of files overnight. For more information, see the Telnet page, which includes information on PuTTY. Midnight Commander is a Linux console tool, and needs to be run from either the physical console on your unRAID server, or from a Telnet console on your desktop station. For earlier versions, and a link to PuTTY (an alternative to Telnet that allows use of a mouse within mc), see this thread). Midnight Commander is built into unRAID v4.3 and up.

Type mc at the command prompt in a telnet/PuTTy session to start the GUI. Use Midnight Commander and PuTTY instead. Midnight Commander - Easy to Use GUI Tool
