FS-UAE mounting PC devices to WB

[elowan]

The shell says: "Workbench:" - it´s the name of the hdd, where Amiga OS is installed.
The copied files are mainly Folders:System, Storage, Devs (but folders are all empty)

Yes, I talked about emulated Amiga, - FS-UAE would obviously not inform the emulated Amiga about the metadata files' existence

When you want to transfer files to a real Amiga, the natural choice would be to copy the files to a HDF from inside FS-UAE, or use LHA inside FS-UAE, if you want to keep the metadata. And the metadata files themselves would not be included.

(You could of course still transfer the files from the host to a real Amiga somehow instead, but in this case you would lose metadata - whether you include the metadata files in the transfer or not - so in this case you could just as well skip transferring the metadata files...).

Have you tried my command suggestion?:

copy SYS: DH1: ALL

Don't use "QUIET". So you can see what's copied.

I'd use clone too. Basically I'd just use the command that Toni posted. Don't know if people always try to be creative about it

I think, "copy #?" don't copy folders, maybe only the .info files (icons)

It does if you use the ALL switch as mentioned somewhere above.

copy #? "to my pc dir" ALL does the trick - thanks a lot - but the folder on my pc is still empty

SOLVED

[TCD]

Don't use #?, just check which name your system HD has and use that. I'd say that

copy DH0: DH1: ALL CLONE

should work just fine in your case...

Yes, please run the command (exactly) as suggested by TheCyberDruid, and if the files are not copied properly onto your host file system, please shut down FS-UAE and post FS-UAE.log (attach to a post, you may need to zip it or rename to .txt first).

[elowan]

I didn´t run the cmd exactly like CyberDruid suggested - already too late, i copied everything over with "copy #? Work:/OS ALL (Work: is a directory/folder on my pc and OS also)

Seems, like everything went good - encountered no errors yet.

But next time, i´ll use the suggested cmd, thank you very much for helping me out again
