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.

@in_a_days
seems to be well hidden, wherever it is…hmm
couldn’t find it

[in_a_days]

@kurt

From the ~ folder:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $

type

ls

Do you see the mirror.tar file listed there?

[kurt]

@in_a_days
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.

@kurt

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/

[kurt]

@in_a_days and @broberg

Thank you, not that easy to find the lost sheeps
the file was in:

/home/pi/Dokumente

but Filezilla didn’t show the file from the start, also I refreshed…

So Thanks a lot for your quick help!

Hi yawns
I hope you can help me, couse I managed to crash my whole MM system so I’m back on the start again. But this time I can’t even put my MM to my Raspberry. Shame on me but that’s how it is.
I’m working by ssh and Filezilla, have on my pi a Folder in /tmp/magic
but when I try to do

scp -r /kurt/Admin/Downloads/MagicMirror-master 
pi@rasbpi:/tmp/magic

I get this

pi@raspi:~ $ scp -r /kurt/Admin/Downloads/MagicMirror-master 
usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
pi@raspi:~ $ pi@raspi:/tmp/magic
-bash: pi@raspi:/tmp/magic: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
pi@raspi:~ $ 

Thanks a lot in advance
kurt

@kurt Your scp command didn’t go through. At a guess, you attempted to scp the entire directory and not the individual file(s). Try this instead: scp -r /kurt/Admin/Downloads/MagicMirror-master/mirror.tar

Thank you
