Install Copy - CLI

Unread post by dkeg » Fri Oct 18, 2013 2:24 am

Well, unfortunately, it looks like Copy is Cut

https://techlib.barracuda.com/Copy/EndOfLife

You have only 'til March 1st 2016. Then your data is wiped. You can use 'mover' to migrate your data elsewhere.


Copy offers 15GB free, has clients for all platforms (linux, windows, mac, android, ios).

And FYI, if you allow me to give you an invite code, we both will earn an extra 5GB. Just pm me, subject line, Copy invite code.

navigate to https://www1.copy.com/home/

register

download the file from Copy and extract

Code: Select all

wget https://copy.com/install/linux/Copy.tgz
tar xvf Copy.tgz
installation manual

Code: Select all

copy/x86/CopyConsole -u=email -r=/home/username/Copy -p=password
or installation aided

Code: Select all

copy/[x86|x86_64]/CopyAgent
enter in your information to login. This creates a ~/Copy directory, and will sync any current items already stored with Copy.

May or may not be the best method, but I copied ( guess I could of just moved it too :D )the copy directory to ~/bin, then created an alias for easier syncing

Code: Select all

cp -r copy ~/bin/
[editor] .bash_aliases
alias syncopy='~/bin/copy/x86/CopyConsole'  
alias copycmd='~/bin/copy/x86/CopyCmd'
CopyConsole is used to sync

Test it out. Navigate to your ~/Copy directory and enter

Code: Select all

syncopy
Once complete, hit Enter.

copycmd (CopyCmd) offers deeper more granular options which I haven't dived into yet. Simpy entering copycmd with no arguments will display its options.

Things I like. There is no overhead. It syncs when you tell it to and that's it, keeping your system minimal, but with added function. One could always set a cron job to automagically sync.

If your using a more bloated system, you will have a nice panel icon.

If you want sexy GUI, use their website, which is nice too.

Interested? Enjoy

I'm bumping this b/c I have really enjoyed having this set up. Great for storing walls or family photos and easily having synced b/t machines and others.
