rsync options [from] [to] If you are running it on the chromebook then the from will be your desktop rsynce -avH --progress 192.168.0.??:/home/joe/bin /home/upquick/bin or from the chromebook cd /home/upquick/bin scp -r joe@192.168.0.??:bin . Since its the first time then there won't be much savings by using rsync. James C. Subject: How to rsync to a chromebook with linux? Message-ID: <93dc44b387d9ce1179f5ebf2455e1270.squirrel@box5112.bluehost.com> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Just purchased the ASUS c423 Chromebook (it is fantastic) and I was delighted to discover that I could just click on an icon on the "shelf" (panel) and Linux was quickly installed automatically (within only a couple minutes). So, I am really enjoying the discovery process to see what all I can do now with Linux on this Chromebook running*simultaneously* with the chrome os. However, I have not yet been able to find the magic syntax to rsync files from my current Linux system to this new Chromebook. When I tap on the Linux icon on the shelf the Chromebook opens to a black screen with this prompt: # upquick@penguin: and I found the IP address is 192.168.0.22 so I created a subdirectory titled 'bin' in: home/upquick/ and tried the following in order to try to copy all of my hundreds of 'bin' shell script utilities to the chromebook: rsync -avH --progress/home/joe/bin/ upquick@192.168.0.22:/home/upquick/bin/ Regrettably, this did not work, so what do I need to do to get it to work? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
