Well remember that "ls" is only for YOU looking in a directory. In order for zsync to look in that directory you would have to "cd" to that directory before pasting in the "zsync" link.
I want to back up just a little bit though. My old hands are so crippled with arthritis that typing is both painful and clumsy so I tend to keep things as simple as possible. The terminal is by default already "looking in" Home so look at these two examples: Example #1: lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls /home/lance/Downloads Debian LinuxMint Misc_debs Puppy gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb lost+found Misc_iso Ubuntu Kubuntu Lubuntu Peppermint Xubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls Downloads Debian LinuxMint Misc_debs Puppy gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb lost+found Misc_iso Ubuntu Kubuntu Lubuntu Peppermint Xubuntu There you can see that "ls /home/lance/Downloads" and "ls Downloads" show the same results. Example #2: lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls /home/lance/Downloads/Lubuntu lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls Downloads/Lubuntu lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso There again you can see that "ls /home/lance/Downloads/Lubuntu" and "ls Downloads/Lubuntu" show the same results. It's just a matter of less keystrokes ;^) The same applies to the "cd" command, so in your case I'd think if you opened the terminal and typed "cd iso" (without the quotes) and then typed just "ls" you'd see those "raring" images. If so zsync will read that image and update it accordingly. But remember that the daily builds all use ambiguous names! Thanks for taking the time to learn this. I know I'm not the best teacher in the world so please accept my apologies.

Of course taken that I pick the same one to download next time. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you for your patience jose On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 7:34 AM, Jose Lopez <[email protected]> wrote: Hi lance, getting back to your response. I see that in your Download folder you have different folder that you keep your different flavors yes?. I have one folder in my /home called iso, and I keep all my isos in there. so my q. to you is, In terminal how do I call for the (ls) or the (cd) in my case. ~$ (cd home/iso) is that correct? and then ~/ (home/lubuntu$ ls). I think I have tried that and it does not work. I'm pretty fresh to terminal commands. but I really want to know how to use and get the list like you did here. thanks jose On Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 7:13 PM, Lance <[email protected]> wrote: First of all, a member of Lubuntu dev pointed out that the way I posted about those two commands may have been confusing ............ the "-" is not part of either command. So just to be clear: cd Yep just those two letters, is used to change directories. ls Just lower case LS (I point that out because sometimes a lower case "L" is confused as upper case "i") is used to see what is in the current directory. Now, as far as naming any folder or directory that's simply a personal choice. But, just as an example, since I test both Ubuntu and Lubuntu images look at the names: lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ cd lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Ubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Ubuntu$ ls precise-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso precise-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso quantal-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old ubuntu-gnome-12.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-i386.iso You'll see that I have a "raring-desktop-i386.iso" in both "Downloads/Lubuntu" and "Downloads/Ubuntu". That's why I have to keep totally different folders/directories for different flavors. Is that making any sense to you? I hope I'm not just creating confusion.

Zsync did put it in the /home , but it made it's own file. now I'm going to make a copy for testing. Q. should I erase the one on my /home/jose/iso, and replace it with this one?. Zsync must do something that will recognize it's own, and for some reason it did not recognized the one I had in their. Q do I need to put a "s" on that directory file name (Like) /home/jose/isos?

That daid, I had a daily in that file before I downloaded through terminal Zsync i thought it was going to replace the one in the Iso file. Am I wrong? I do have one in the download folder now. Is that the one from Zsync?. I'm sorry if I'm making it confusing.

Two very simple commands for working in the terminal are: ls (That is lower case LS) - lists the files and folders in that directory and: cd - changes the directory ################ As an example if I open my terminal and type ls I see: lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls Backups Documents examples.desktop Music Public Templates Desktop Downloads I'm_lost.png Pictures Reorganize_me Videos If I cd to Downloads and then type ls I see: lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ ls Debian LinuxMint Misc_debs Puppy gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb lost+found Misc_iso Ubuntu Kubuntu Lubuntu Peppermint Xubuntu That may seem confusing at first glance but I use and test other distros and *buntu flavors so I have to keep then separate ;^) So I then "cd" again to get back to Home, and then "cd Downloads/Lubuntu", and then ls shows me the contents of that folder: lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ cd lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso You can see there a list of the contents of Downloads/Lubuntu on my box. #################################### Did that help or did I just cause confusion?
