Re: Copying between network drives

["Paul Bendall" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You'll still be copying data through the PC as you have an RPC
connection to the source and RPC connection to the destination. You
need to remote to the NAS (i.e. telnet, SSH or web-interface) and
issue the command there so that a connection is direct between
source and destination.
