Hi. I have a USB drive which my NC data is stored : /media/myCloudDrive.
I have another external USB drive that I need to copy data off from and put it on my NC drive about 250GB. I plugged in the second USB drive and thought I could ssh and just copy the data put putty keeps freezing when trying to browse to the second USB drive. Also I get an error when trying to get to the NC web page something about .ocdata file is not available.
Is there not a simple way of copying data to my NC drive?
I tried plugging in both USB drives into my Windows computer to copy the data like that but I am unable to access the “ncdata” folder because www.user or something like that owns it.
with the webgui or the desktop client?
my best guess is you run into trouble mounting the usb drives. you should check with mount and/or df which device is mounted where.
after you fixed that problem you can of course copy any file from your usb drive to nextcloud. but you have to tell nc that you did so. just run the occ file:scan comand.

everything gets mounted fine but when I try to copy (cp) the putty session freezes and the wegui goes bananas
would i be able to plug in both usb drives to a windows machine and copy the data that way?
anything in /var/log/syslog ? or /var/log/messages depends on your linux.
start a second putty session and run tail -f /var/log/syslog there whiletrying to copy.
which filesystem is on the usb drives? a linux or a windows one?
it would be better to start a livecd (knoppix, et.al.) and to it with that linux running on your pc.
Here is the tail when i plug in the usb drive:

and when your putty session freezes?
Why everytime I plug in a second usb drive and try to vist the webpage I get this:
Error
- Your data directory is invalidEnsure there is a file called “.ocdata” in the root of the data directory.
do you have an automounter active? could you turn it off?
what is the content of the nc data folder?
