Move files between hosts

I have a Linux 101 question.
I want to move files from one server to another, I know how to copy across using scp et al. but I want to move wholesale from Server A to Server B without leaving a the original file on Server A
Many thanks.

You really do not want to do this unless you do not really care about the data. There are just too many places errors can creep in to delete while transferring. So:
1) transfer
2) verify
3) delete
would be my recommendation.

I would like to use FireWire to move files between 2 iBook G3's.

I would like to use FireWire to move files between 2 iBook G3's but the disk icon for the target disk computer does not show on the other. I've tried using 3 different iBooks and 2 different Firewire cables. Are there any other settings I should use? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Check the settings in the General tab of the Finder's preferences, and whether or not the drive appears in the Disk Utility.

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Try selecting the photos, right-clicking the target folder and choosing
"Move Selected Photos to This Folder".

[vmware] Best way to share files between host and client

Good afternoon!
I have successfully installed VMware server on my machine and set up a virtual machine, powering Windows XP for study issues (emulation via wine does not do the trick for me). The virtual machine runs fast and stable but does not meet my requirements unless I have two issues faced:
First:
How to access a USB pendrive monunted by the host system properly within the client?
Second:
What is the best way to share file system space between host and client? Should I set up a Samba share which is accessible for both host and client or is it save to grant my VM access to my physical hard disc as a whole (using it as a partition)?
Thanks for answers in advance, I have still quite a lot to learn, when it comes to VMs.
Regards,
~cg

Do not setup your VMware to be able to access your physical disk as a whole. This would have you mounting the filesystem twice, corrupting it in the process.
You /can/ setup VMware with Sharing Folders that lets you share your filesystem (either / or just /home or something else) and that is what I would recommend.
As for accessing the pen drive from both operating systems at once, I'd say use the same Sharing Folders method. I always share /mnt so that I can access my cdrom/USB/etc from the vmware OS.
The sharing folders is basically the same as a samba share, but uses vmware's own method (HGFS). Samba is more secure (if you are worried about your VMware OS breaking from it's shell and attacking your real filesystem, which is unlikely). You need the vmware tools installed to make use of it.

Move files between folders

I can not drag and drop files between folders within LR5. Can only move files using OS then finding them LR5 Permissions are OK, using Mac latest updated OS. Any suggestions?

Make sure you are dragging the picture thumbnail and not the frame around it.

Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Move files between computers

I have a new macbook air and a 5 year old iMac. I want to move some files from the iMac to the air. What's the easiest way to do it? I thought I could network the two together with my modem/router. They can see each other but file sharing doesn't seem to be working even though I'm trying to enable it. Do I need another piece of hardware such as an Airport base station?

Thanks useless,
This would work, I think. I don't have the Thuderbolt/Firewire connection I would need, although I could buy the required converter. I was hoping to do it wirelessly. Can I do the same thing wirelessly through my modem/router?

Best way to move files between FCPX and Motion?

What is the best protocol for bringing files back and forth between Motion and FCPX?
How do I save out from Motion for import to FCP? Is it with Templates?
Whats the drill?
I have looked at both the helps and am coming up short.
Thanks.

If you're simply working in generic Motion project, ProRes 422 Quicktime files are the best format for going back and forth.
If you want to save a Motion project to use as a template in FCP X, it has to be one of the template Motion project types. Title, Generator, Effect, Transition. You would select these from the Template Browser that opens first when Motion is initially launched.
If you want to start creating templates, I stronly recommend Ripple Training's "Rigging and Publising" video course for Motion 5.

Move Files between accounts?

Hi --
I recently set up this computer with lots of customization on the admin account. Because of a mail problem & security issues, I'd like to eventually have it set up so that admin is used only for admin duties, with another user ("Donna") for all my daily business. (I'm the only human using the computer.) I've been told that I can set up the new user more quickly by moving the admin preferences files to the appropriate place for the Donna files.
Well, I just added the user Donna (with admin priveleges) but I'm unable to move the files. When I'm logged in as admin, it won't let me touch the Donna files & when I'm logged in as Donna I can't get to the admin files. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Donna

Is your email account an IMAP or POP account? If the former then the error message you received is related to creating a mailbox on the IMAP server.
When you resolve a problem by creating a new user account, then it means that the existing problem is constrained to the old user account, i.e., it's in the Home folder. Usually that means a problem with preference files, user cache files, third-party items such as preference panes or contextual menu items.
Archive and Install with preservation of users won't fix the problem because it simply imports the existing user account to the new system. Since the problem is in the user account it is not fixed by an Archive and Install.
Creating a new user and transferring everything over risks importing the problem as well. Because you think the problem is restricted to Mail, then perhaps the thing to try is deleting your current email account in Mail and then re-configuring a new account in Mail. If you use IMAP this should not cause any of your mail to be lost unless you download it to your computer. In this case archive your existing mailboxes and move the archive out of the current /Home/Library/Mail/ folder so it will not be deleted when you remove the account from Mail.

A droplet to move file between computers on different networks?

Hey all!
I have a Mac Mini working as the media server for my TV. I use the same Mini to download all my torrents, since it's connected directly to my router.
I was wondering if anyone can think of a way to create a droplet (or something else with similar functionality) so that I can use my Macbook Pro remotely from work to initiate torrent downloads on my Mini at home. I understand how it'd be possible to do so with VNC, but I'm more interested in something simpler (like a droplet between my laptop and my Mini).
Thanks geniuses!

The only seamless way to control your mac mini remotely would be to use screen sharing (VNC). The other way would be to use ssh to remotely log in, but that would only give you command-line accessibility to the Mac Mini. There may be a couple of other options, however.
For one, it sounds like you might want to initiate a torrent download remotely, using a torrent file that you have remotely. There are some torrent programs that have the ability to "watch" a given folder for new torrent files and then immediately start up the transfer when new torrents are detected in that folder. As such, you could share that folder and then access it remotely using AFP. All you'd need to know is your home ip address and then you'd use the command-K key sequence to "connect to" and then enter the ip address. After logging in you could then drag the torrent you ahve on your Macbook to the shared folder on your Mini and after the transfer the torrent program running on your Mini would automatically start up the transfer.
You could then make an alias on your Macbook of the mounted shared folder, so it will be easier to access in the future; however, this would require the ip address to be static (most home internet accounts dont have static ip addresses).

How do I move files between download and documents in finder?

When I want to move a downloaded file into a folder in documents I move the file to the desktop and then to a folder in documents.
There must be some way to do this directly but I cannot discover it. I seem to be able to only open one session of Finder.
It would also seem logical to be able to open more than one session in Finder.
Any suggestions? Thank you

Click on the Finder icon in the Dock. Use command-n to open two Finder windows. Navigate to the Documents folder in one window and the Downloads folder in the other. Drag and drop files from one to the other.
There is also a copy and move functionality. Select the file you want to move. Press command-c. Navigate to the desired destination. Press command-v to copy the file there, press option-command-v to move the file there.

Move files between iCloud accounts

ok just found out my secretary (who uses my old computer) and me use different iCloud storage accounts.
Like with dropbox, can i send her files without me actually having to send her an email with the file?
Can i send files (again, like in dropbox) to people telling them they can access a particular file?
Many thanks for your replies,
Mark

Share files with others using a drop box
To give a copy of a file to another user, you can copy the file to the user’s Drop Box folder.
If you can’t find a computer you’re looking for on the network, make sure the other user has file sharing turned on.
To give a file to another user on your computer:
Open the user’s Public folder (in their home folder in the Users folder on your hard disk).
Hold down the Option key and drag the file to the Drop Box in the user’s Public folder.
To give a file to someone who uses another computer on your network:
Open a Finder window and browse for the computer in the Finder window sidebar (under Shared).
Select the computer, and then open the user’s Public folder.
Drag the file to the Drop Box folder, which is in the user’s Public folder.
