Hello,
Copying works ! , but it’s funny for me because I’m just going to do the following steps:

1. I go to “media/” and hang on my drives “test_1”, and my other drive “test_2” by clicking the folder. The little points on folders are green. (see last picture).

2. Now I go root and open two windows with “sudo rox”. Now I try to move a folder or image file with Drag&Drop from “/home/woll/Downloads” to my other drive, also “Test_1” or “Test_2”. This always fails, with all files.

3. Now I reconnect the terminal and enter: “LANG=C sudo cp -r /home/woll/Downloads/EXAMPLE-NAME /media/Test_2”.
With the good result, which the file has now been copied. No error message appears : -) .

4. If I go root again and open two windows with “sudo rox” and try drag&drop files to my other drivers, it works!!! No matter which folder or pictures.. it works.

But nevertheless, at least for me it is something peculiar, which is only by the exemplary command “LANG=C sudo cp -r /home/woll/Downloads/EXAMPLE-Name /media/Test_2”, and only after this command-input the drag & drop procedure will works.

It would have to do it both good functions: data transfer about input-commands in the terminal and (because it is still even easier for me) copying with Drag & Drop.

Sorry for my kind of description, admittedly my Linux knowledge is still initially, many basics are missing me. Nevertheless, I do not want to put my head in the sand and will book a practice Linux training course.

Greetings
Kexs

Kexs, If I might suggest:

1. Yes, going through a basic linux command tutorial learning how to list the directories, make directories, change directories, and copy or move files, or change permissions via the terminal command line will help your understanding.
2. Keep things simple. Don’t use spaces in filenames, and limit the special characters to _ and – and . which almost all systems allow.
3. Check out a tutorial on Midnight Commander, and try using it. It’s very efficient at helping with the oriented file tasks you are asking for.
4. GUI file manager Drag and Drop works, but you can’t really see the details, so if there is anything not setup right, it will be more difficult to notice other than that things don’t work or you get weird errors. I like SpaceFM or zzzFM rather than RoxFiler as a GUI file manager. I would suggest watching tutorials on both SpaceFM and RoxFiler and deciding which looks better for you, and if necessary, change your default file manager in Preferred Applications to the one you are most comfortable with.

hi Guys, I was sitting in front of my old laptop until now and now I have installed antix19-base as a fully worked system for the next time, and I was able to configure everything very well. Seamonkey runs great and LibreOffice can also use Arial and videos in Seamonkey are with sound. Great!! Thanks again to all of your helpful solutions and answers. Really great. antiX is really great, looks good and is quick. You are a good community. kind regards. Kexs
