    @kurt

    That’s okay! You’re in the right folder now :)

    In the previous post your command prompt looked like this:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $
    

    Which shows you in the MagicMirror directory. But if your command prompt now looks like this:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $
    

    Then you are back in the correct ‘~’ folder and you can proceed to step 2.

      @in_a_days said in Starter problem:

      tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror

      this is what I get:

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~
      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror
      tar: Entferne führende „/“ von Elementnamen
      tar: /MagicMirror: Funktion stat fehlgeschlagen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
      tar: Beende mit Fehlerstatus aufgrund vorheriger Fehler
      

      What do you think?
      Thank you

        I apologize, I have not used the tar command before. Remove the ‘/’ before MagicMirror. Try:

        tar -cvf mirror.tar MagicMirror

          what is the name of the file, it should be outside of the MM file in the pi file?

            Great! I’m still very new to this and I’m not using FTP. But there should now be a file named ‘mirror.tar’ in your ‘pi’ directory.

                @kurt

                From the ~ folder:

                pi@raspberrypi:~ $
                

                type

                ls
                

                Do you see the mirror.tar file listed there?

                  here we are :)

                  pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
                  Bilder     Dokumente    mirror.tar  npm-debug.log  python_games  Videos
                  Desktop    Downloads    Music       oldconffiles   Scratch
                  Documents  MagicMirror  Musik       Public         Templates
                  

                  but isn’t shown in Filezilla directory
                  should be in Bilder Dokumente mirror.tar ? right?
                  the path is not quite clear for me

                  not that easy…Thanks a lot for your time in_a_days

                    Happy to help! Unfortunately, this is where my knowledge ends. I’m not sure what folders you can see over Filezilla. But again make sure you are in the ~ directory and try this:

                    cp mirror.tar Dokumente
                    

                    If you can access that Dokumente folder in Filezilla, you should now see the mirror.tar file.

                      no, Bilder and Dokumente is two different folders,

                      either it’s the first directory you get to when connecting with ftp
                      OR
                      it is in /home/pi/
