Will this work?

[gromit4x4]

Hello to all, I am new to Linux and have what I think is a simple question i hope,
I have Installed Fedora 14 with Amahi. I have really enjoyed it, It has been a steep learning curve for me and I feel more competent when using bash with each day but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
I have retained the GUI because I currently use my hda as a desktop as well as a media server.
I have downloaded some music files to /home/username/Downloads and I wish to put them in the storage pool, Can I do the following?

Code: Select all

# mv /home/username/Downloads/*.* /var/hda/files/Music

Will that work ok and the files be available in the share?

Sorry for my confusion but I don't want to screw anything up

Many thanks
Gromit.

Yes that will work for the most part. Don't need to do *.* though, this is all that is needed.

Code: Select all

mv /home/username/Downloads/* /var/hda/files/Music

You also need to make sure that the files are owned by your user. They should be coming from that directory.

Also could make your download folder a share and add it to the pool for Greyhole. There is guidance in the wiki for that part. You would make the path to the share your Downloads folder.

Since you are new to Linux, recommend you do check out some of the basic command stuff via google. That is the best way to learn, then play around a bit.

Thanks for the reply, I will stick with the default shares for now until I know a bit more. ss64.com/bash is my resource for learning the command line actions.
