I am trying to move the main folder (which is the date), and specific subfolders and files to a mounted cifs drive (test).
mv -v bam,bed /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/6-10-2016 smb://smb/smbdatabay/test
mv: cannot move ‘/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/6-10-2016’ to ‘smb://smb/smbdatabay/file’: No such file or directory
I can manually see all the folders and the share. Thank you :).
Structure of directory to move (need to move bam and bed and subfolders)
6-10-2016
bam
- file
- test
bed
id
The destination must be the mount point (folder without prefix smb:/). From man:
NAME

SYNOPSIS
mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
DESCRIPTION
Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.

I want to copy files from my bucket but only files/directories that not exist on local drive.
Is it possible?
I tried something like
gsutil -m rsync -n -r "MyBUCKET" "my_local_dir"
but something is wrong.
You should try using the recently-added -i flag, which ignores existing files on the destination. That flag was added in this commit and should be available as of gsutil v4.59.
The transmission-daemon stores by default some temporary files and the added torrent files in the following directory:
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/
Is it possible to set another directory?
Why not just ln -s /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/ ~/MyAwesomeTransmissionConfigDirecotry or whatnot? ;-)
You'll just probably need sudo to ls it :)
I'm trying to take a tar of the '/home/store/' directory content.
tar cvf store.tar /home/store/
While doing so, I can see that the .snapshot directories are also getting included. My understanding is that snapshots are kind of backups. Can I skip this? If possible, how? Tried excluding a test directory using the below command ran from /home/store/
tar cvfX store.tar <(echo /home/store/test) /home/store/
But this is not excluding the test directory from the tar created.
Also, tried this
tar cvf store.tar /home/store/ --exclude-file=exclude.txt
Output:
a /home/store// 0K
a /home/store//.profile 1K
a /home/store//local.profile 1K
a /home/store//.vas_logon_server 1K
a /home/store//.vas_disauthcc_611400381 1K

tar: --exclude-file=exclude.txt: No such file or directory
/home/store/exclude.txt has the entry 'test'. Tried entering the following as well and got same error.
/home/store/test/
/home/store/test/1.txt
When I gave the full path to 'exclude.txt' like this
`tar cvf store.tar /home/store/ --exclude-file=/home/store/exclude.txt`
it's giving the below error
tar: can't change directories to --exclude-file=/home/store: No such file or directory
tar -h
Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw#[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize] [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}...
Thanks well in advance!

Try to do so:
tar cvfX /var/tmp/src.tar /var/tmp/excl.txt /var/tmp/src/
Your exclude file should contain path:
/home/store//.snapshot
Best practice not to use full path of your tar dir, because in future you can overwite your /etc , when extract tar archive from /var/tmp, for example.
For example:
sudo tar -zcvpf /backup/farm-backup-$(date +%d-%m-%Y).tar.gz --exclude ".snapshots" --exclude ".cache" farm
Did not use a backslash in the command ie:/farm for the directory. Execute the tar command from the /home directory to back up "farm" user.
for making a backup in the root /backup directory.
OS: OpenSuse 15.1
wget -r -np www.a.com/b/c/d
The above will create a directory called 'www.a.com' in the current working directory on my local computer, containing all subdirectories on the path to 'd'.
I only want directory 'd' (and its contents) created in my cwd.
How can I achieve this?
You can mention that directory name explicitely and avoid creation of sub-directories by the following line.
wget -nd -P /home/d www.a.com/b/c/d
The -nd will avoid creation of sub-directories and -P will set the directory to /home/d and all your files will be downloaded to "/home/d" folder only.
I need files to be downloaded to /tmp/cron_test/. My wget code is
wget --random-wait -r -p -nd -e robots=off -A".pdf" -U mozilla http://math.stanford.edu/undergrad/
So is there some parameter to specify the directory?
From the manual page:
-P prefix
--directory-prefix=prefix
Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the
directory where all other files and sub-directories will be
saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default
is . (the current directory).
So you need to add -P /tmp/cron_test/ (short form) or --directory-prefix=/tmp/cron_test/ (long form) to your command. Also note that if the directory does not exist it will get created.
-O is the option to specify the path of the file you want to download to:
wget <uri> -O /path/to/file.ext
-P is prefix where it will download the file in the directory:
wget <uri> -P /path/to/folder
Make sure you have the URL correct for whatever you are downloading. First of all, URLs with characters like ? and such cannot be parsed and resolved. This will confuse the cmd line and accept any characters that aren't resolved into the source URL name as the file name you are downloading into.
For example:
wget "sourceforge.net/projects/ebosse/files/latest/download?source=typ_redirect"
will download into a file named, ?source=typ_redirect.
As you can see, knowing a thing or two about URLs helps to understand wget.
I am booting from a hirens disk and only had Linux 2.6.1 as a resource (import os is unavailable). The correct syntax that solved my problem downloading an ISO onto the physical hard drive was:
wget "(source url)" -O (directory where HD was mounted)/isofile.iso"
One could figure the correct URL by finding at what point wget downloads into a file named index.html (the default file), and has the correct size/other attributes of the file you need shown by the following command:
wget "(source url)"
Once that URL and source file is correct and it is downloading into index.html, you can stop the download (ctrl + z) and change the output file by using:
-O "<specified download directory>/filename.extension"
after the source url.
In my case this results in downloading an ISO and storing it as a binary file under isofile.iso, which hopefully mounts.
"-P" is the right option, please read on for more related information:
wget -nd -np -P /dest/dir --recursive http://url/dir1/dir2
Relevant snippets from man pages for convenience:
-P prefix
--directory-prefix=prefix
Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is . (the current directory).
-nd
--no-directories
Do not create a hierarchy of directories when retrieving recursively. With this option turned on, all files will get saved to the current directory, without clobbering (if a name shows up more than once, the
filenames will get extensions .n).
-np
--no-parent
Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving recursively. This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded.
man wget:
-O file
--output-document=file
wget "url" -O /tmp/cron_test/<file>
