I tried to scp from an external machine to my machine but failed:
$ scp -rp /home/externaluser/pd/folder myIP:pd/
scp: pd/: File exists
I have checked the permission:
$ ls -l /home/externaluser/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 externaluser externaluser 56 Mar 3 17:42 pd -> /run/media/superuser/external_xfs_hd/pd
And the folder is empty:
$ ll /run/media/superuser/external_xfs_hd/pd
total 0
The strange thing is that if I scp to /home/externaluser then it works:
$ scp -rp /home/externaluser/pd/folder myIP:
Any idea?
Update #1:
Followed Danfossi's suggestion to try rsync:
$ rsync -avz -e ssh /home/externaluser/pd externaluser@myIP:/home/externaluser/pd
sending incremental file list

Try with rsync:
$ rsync -avz -e ssh /src/dir user@remote.host:dst/dir
or with tar:
$ cd /source_dir
$ tar cf - * | ssh user@remote.host ‘(cd /destination_dir;tar xf - )’

how do you mount the external drive ? I do not remember in what situation but I had a similar writing problem on the mount points under /run. Try to mount the external disk manually on a folder under /mnt

Good that you asked how I mounted. And I checked the permissions of all the parent directories of the mounted drive. Now, I noticed thatnautilususedsuperuseras the owner of/run/media/superuserand set the directory to non executable for everyone except owner and group, causingexternalusernot able to stat, whichrsyncwas trying to do. Fixing the permission fixes everything. Thanks a lot for your hint!
