Linux File Transfer Question

elemancer · Jun 3, 2014

So I am using Kali Linux and transferring files off a computer, every now and then there is an I/O error and i have the option to skip or skip all.

Will this only skip all with the same kind of error?

Well an I/O error indicates that you are having issues communicating in the transfer. I would think the bigger worry would be why are you having this issue. It could be a drive failing, bad cable, controller or motherboard. Unless you already know the computer you are moving the files off of is bad.

Well I already know the HDD is going bad so I am trying to get a copy of as many of the files as I can as to not lose anything before replacing the drive.

You should be using the proper tool for the proper job. Kali is aimed at network security verification, not data recovery. Try something like this: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
