samba - Feb 2010 - file copy from share A to share B

Hello,

I'm using a samba server with one harddrive with several partitions. I want
to copy some file from one partition to the other. My pc runs on Ubuntu and
using the file browser I can easily copy files from one partition to the
other. If I copy files from one samba share to the other using the file
browser the file will be transported over the network to my pc and then back
to the other samba share. This is very inefficient if the files are
large. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?


thanks


Stijn

Hi Stijn,

since the process is started on your pc, your pc drives the copy and 
handles data transfer.
If you don't want the files coming across the network, you have to issue 
the copy command on the server, even remotely, if you can.

Bye

Roberto
