I have revived my old laptop with zorin os 17. It’s now a emby server with external HDD attached to it. I have qbittorrent on it, which downloads what o want headlessly using mobile client. But I have no way to move files from downloads folders to proper folder (i.e movie, TV ,etc). How do I do this using mobile ? Or even script to move the media to proper folder,?

    The most basic way to do this would be to enable ssh then use an sftp client on your mobile device. On the laptop run:

    sudo systemctl enable sshd && sudo systemctl start sshd

    I don’t use sftp on mobile so I don’t know what the best app for it is but there are a lot of options. Note that moving files without disabling the torrent will mess things up so make sure to do that first.

      Thanks for your reply

      How do I enable say on laptop? I have app for connecting to server/remote servers , it’s a file manager called solid Explorer, that I can use. But once i give this command what will happen? And what is exact command in ssh to move files to folder ?

        The command I listed will enable ssh on the laptop. This will allow you to connect and move files with a file manager that supports sftp. From what I can tell solid explorer should work.

        If you plan to move files directly via ssh you would use mv. A basic example would be the following:

        mv file-to-move target-location

        You can add multiple files or folders separated by a space. The last location in the command will always be the target. In most cases it will probably be faster and more convenient to use the file manager you already have.
