One is designed to back up the documents folder on my mac (a relatively small folder) this works fine. My second group is my pictures folder, which is large due to .nef files. Im trying to just copy the nef files. I tell it to run manually, and it goes what seems to be all the way through, but at the end says 'Could not determine the type of file "smb://eeepcfs/backupfolder".' "smb://eeepcfs/backupfolder" is the path of the network share i am trying to write to (on ubuntu). As I say, my documents folder goes fine, and the files appear to all have copied for my photos, but then this error appears. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate your help.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008208164247991493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347235826061875757.post-49368549817968892482010-08-10T07:51:11.323+10:002010-08-10T07:51:11.323+10:00bonkey, I had similar problems with FTP, namely th...bonkey, I had similar problems with FTP, namely the fact that I couldn't seem to specify the remote directory (my FTP user game access to /, and I wanted my files in /httpdocs). I ended up editing my /etc/httpd file to respecify the root directory of my FTP user but then Bonkey was adding quotes around all the remote directory names. The RC linked above seemed to fix this. Thanks a ton for the awesome software! My only other complaint is that I can't make one of the folders on my computer be the root directory of a backup, for example if my backup is named "My Backup" and I want to backup C:\folder to D:\Folder Backup, my files end up in D:\Folder Backup\My Backup\folder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347235826061875757.post-65139510223840750702010-07-31T04:18:02.071+10:002010-07-31T04:18:02.071+10:00Yes, there is: http://s3.amazonaws.com/bonkey/Bonk...Yes, there is: http://s3.amazonaws.com/bonkey/Bonkey_rc.zipbonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751075340848661209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347235826061875757.post-3908273063615721562010-07-28T19:53:19.243+10:002010-07-28T19:53:19.243+10:00Thanks for replay, but I'm using SL 10.6 so ca...Thanks for replay, but I'm using SL 10.6 so cant use the program you linked<br /><br />http://s3.amazonaws.com/bonkey/setup_rc.exe<br /><br />Is there one for the mac?<br /><br />GarethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347235826061875757.post-81170569006690064342010-07-28T18:30:20.430+10:002010-07-28T18:30:20.430+10:00Hi Gareth - FTP support is unfortunately flaky.
