![]() ![]() Using SSH and rsync typically require some extra computer knowledge and skill. Standard warning: One uses SSH and rsync at their own risk! Improper use can result in data loss or corrupting/deleting My Cloud firmware files resulting in possibly bricking the My Cloud (rendering it non bootable). Generally the OS3 first gen single bay My Cloud SSH user name is root, for the second gen single bay My Cloud (and possibly for multi bay My Cloud) the SSH user name is sshd. One would adjust the IP address and directory paths to match their devices. Typically the first time one tries to use rsync to copy files to another My Cloud device they will be prompted by the SSH program ( Putty for example) to enter the SSH password for that My Cloud. Rsync -avz /DataVolume/shares/Public/Shared\ Pictures/ Pictures/ Rsync -avz example using rsync to copy from one first gen My Cloud to another first gen My Cloud. To use rsync that has been previously mentioned in this discussion would require you to enable SSH on both My Cloud devices, then connect to the My Cloud you want to copy files from using a program like Putty, issue a command like the following, adjusting for proper Share or folder location and proper IP address. Otherwise if its only a few files or folders one can just copy and paste or drag and drop files between the two My Clouds using Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder. If both My Cloud devices are running OS5 and on the same local network then look into use the backup apps (installed via the Dashboard App tab) to see if they’ll work for copying files from the second generation single bay My Cloud to what ever is the “dual bay v2” (My Cloud Mirror v2?). You may want to use the forum search feature (magnifying glass icon top right) to search for similar past discussions about My Cloud’s with orange or red front LED light to see if any other suggestions may work. Once connected to a computer one can use Linux, or a Linux boot disc, or a Windows Linux driver to view the contents of the My Cloud hard drive. Were you previously backing up the My Cloud to an external USB hard drive using the My Cloud Dashboard’s Safepoint or Backup option?Īs a last resort one can extract the My Cloud hard drive from a single bay/single drive My Cloud enclosure and connect it to a computer either using a spare SATA port or using a SATA to USB adapter/docking station. Have you tried a 4 second or 40 second reset? ( How to Reset a My Cloud Device) Have you tried using a different Ethernet cable to connect the My Cloud to the local network router (or switch)?ĭid you change anything else recently on your local network (like change broadband providers)?Ĭan you access the My Cloud Dashboard? Does the network router’s administration page (DHCP server) indicate handing out an IP address to the My Cloud? This folder is 100% portable and does not even access the C drive.What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Running KittyPortable.exe with the -convert-dir param will create several folders in your kitty_portable folder, including all of your PuTTY settings (which are now stored in plain textfiles instead of using the registry, like PuTTY does. ![]() Delete kitty.exe (you won't ever need it again).Go to a DOS shell, cd to the kitty_portable directory, and type:.It will pull in all of your PuTTY config settings. Download both the Windows Classic and Windows Portable.Create a folder somewhere called kitty_portable (preferably not on.Then go to a PC on which you have admin rights (your home PC, maybe), install PuTTY, double-click the exported registry file that you exported earlier (this imports all the PuTTY sessions), and then. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SessionsĪnd do File/Export (make sure the radio button for "selected branch" is selected). So you would need to export your PuTTY registry keys at work and import them on your home PC. But maybe your home machine doesn't have the PuTTY config settings that you use at work. So you need to convert your PuTTY settings to Kitty on a machine you have admin rights on, such as your home machine. Many people do not have admin rights on their PC at work, but this is where you might want to use KittyPortable. This approach will not work if you don't have sufficient privileges to install Kitty Classic. = If you do NOT have administrative rights on your PC, continue reading. I was able to accomplish it indirectly by installing Kitty Classic, which automagically picked up PuTTY's registry keys, and then running The problem is that, being portable, KittyPortable does not even LOOK at the C drive, so it can't read the PuTTY keys in the Windows registry. I have been unable to get PuTTY settings directly into KittyPortable. Cyd's answer seems to apply to Kitty Classic (not Portable). ![]()
