Copy all config files from Pi to PC

[MichaelOToole]

Easiest way to backup your config files from your Pi

I use the following to copy the config directory from my Pi to my Linux PC using the terminal (on my PC)

scp -r pi@voron24:/home/pi/printer_data/config /home/Mike

This will copy the complete config folder and files (the -r = recursive)...

Change: pi@raspberrypi to suit your Pi install, default might be pi@raspberrypi
Change: /home/Mike to your user folder (in windows this might be: C:/Users/Mike )

To copy the cfg file from my Linux box to the Pi...
CD to the folder containing your config files...
Open command terminal there, type:

scp -r *.cfg  pi@voron24b:/home/pi/printer_data/config

Change pi@voron24b to suit your Pi install, default might be pi@raspberrypi

I have my PC mount the Pi as an SMB drive, so I can just drag and drop files, copy files, edit config files, etc. as if they were on my PC. Super convenient.

I like this idea. I've been just keeping them in separate folders on my main, and feed them with SCP or Telnet to the printer(s).

Though, I also just connect via mainsail and mess with the public-view folders and files that way.

I like your method though, and as an old network guy am kinda surprised I didn't make them all "shared" drives to begin with.
