In this quick tutorial, we will be showing you how to use the qcopy tool to copy files from one file system to another. To do that, we are going to download the linux kernel files (v. 2.6.11.1). Please note that the version has no relevance for this tutorial, as it was chosen just to demonstrate the capabilities of the qcopy tool.

We will be copying our linux kernel folder to our new volume using “qcopy:”
![]() ![]() qcopy linux-2.6.11.1.tar.gz uidexample.myquobyte.net:kernel
![]() |

If you go to your volumes in the web console, and give it a few seconds, you will see that the new volume has been populated with the Linux kernel folder.
![]() ![]() |

Cd into the kernel volume, and do an ls to see what’s in there:
![]() |
As you can see, copying files from one system to another using the qcopy tool is very easy.
