Hello
I was planning to copy a large set of files on to a HD attached to Vero 4K+ using Rsync. But the debian build doesn’t have Rsync to install using
sudo apt-get install rysnc
Rsync is already installed on OSMC
osmc@osmc-vero4k:~$ which rsync /usr/bin/rsync
osmc@osmc-vero4k:~$ dpkg -l | grep rsync ii rsync 3.1.3-6 armhf fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
Ah, ok.
Though when I type
rysnc --version
get:
-bash: rsync: command not found
Which is same error when I try to rynsc into osmc from my PC
(I’m still learning linux so probably a dumb error on my part)
Where did you type that?
Did you connect to the Vero via SSH?
Or are you typing that on your local machine? Which OS?
Yes, ssh into vero (from a MX Linux PC).
And when I use the which and dpkg commands, no output appears
osmc@osmc-ss:~$ rsync --version
-bash: rsync: command not found
osmc@osmc-ss:~$ which rsync
osmc@osmc-ss:~$ dpkg -l | grep rsync
osmc@osmc-ss:~$can you post the output of
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rsync
osmc@osmc-ss:~$ sudo apt-get update

Typo. It’s rsync.
