How to move files over samba share with gnomevfs cli

  • 772

Ok I am in the process of backing up my film collection to a NAS and I wanted to automate this as much as possible as I have to work at the same time. I am trying to setup a daily dump of ISO's ready to be converted overnight. I would like to do this as a cron job using gnomevfs. I have been able to connect and do an ls command successfully with

gnomevfs-ls smb://user:WORKGROUP:password@media-centre/videos/

but I am having trouble setting up a mv command from a local folder to the same shared folder keep getting the Usage: gnomevfs-mv <from> <to> quote which isn't particularly informative ;)

any ideas?

command-line

    gnomevfs is deprecated, you should use gvfs instead.

    To move a file :

    gvfs-mount smb://user:WORKGROUP:password@server/directory
gvfs-move file smb://server/directory/file
