transferring files over the network takes absolutely ages, because the vuduo can only transfer at 100mbps.

is it possible to plug in an external drive to the vu+duo through the USB port at the front, and transfer files to it? if so how? this would be quicker than transferring via a network.

thanks.

Plug in your external usb & telnet into the box.
Depending on your mount paths, you would use something like:

to copy the MOVIE NAME

cp /media/hdd/movies/MOVIE NAME /media/usb/
to move the MOVIE NAME

mv /media/hdd/movies/MOVIE NAME /media/usb/
to move everything

mv /media/hdd/movies/* /media/usb/

thanks judge. small problem, i aint a linux wizard and have no idea what you just said. the last time i tried mounting a networked drive it ended in complete disaster and the box kept trying to boot up off that networked drive, and it was stuck in a crash loop! i had to flash it ....

could u take me through it step by step? literally what menus to go to etc... im using vix.

thanks

You could do the m one by one via filelist.
Plug in the USB and make sure the box is seeing it as a new drive under menu, system, hard disk.
Go into file list and then simply move the file by highlighting it and then selecting the USB drive

I cant do any of above with mine vu duo),does the external usb need to be formated?

No.
But if your USB-HDD is NTFS-formatted, you'll need to install the NTFS-utils.
