You must copy Litecoin folder to root folder of USB drive. Not the content of Litecoin folder to root folder.
Maybe I dont understand you. Sorry.
I made the folder "Litecoin" in the root folder and then copied the contents of my existing Litecoin Node to the "Litecoin" folder on the jump drive.
so its like E:\Litecoin\blocks and E:\Litecoin\chainstate and etc etc for all the folders/files that were on my external drive for my nodes (I am running 9 different crypto currency nodes atm and they are all housed on a single 2 tb external USB drive.
I simply copied everything from G:\Litecoin to E:\Litecoin (E:\ being the Samsung jump drive)
one update, I noticed that my regular Litecoin node went from 23 connections to only 8 connections (all outbound) - is there a chance the two nodes interfere with each other? I have never ran multiple nodes on the same network for the same coin. I have shut down my regular node, restarted the Apollo and trying to start the Apollo's node now.
How have you formated the drive? Make sure its Fat32. The only interference could be if you haven't manually port forwarded...unpn might be changing the port forward from the old node to the new one, thats why your incoming connections got cut.
If its still not loading ssh into the Apollo and run
systemctl status node
and post the output here.
when I formatted it there was not a "FAT32" option. there was two choices "exFAT" and "NTFS" -- I assumed that "exFAT" was just a stupid windows 10 thing.
as for SSH I cannot figure it out for the Apollo I run putty, put in the ip address and when it comes up with user name - I dont know what to enter as I dont enter a user name when i log into the Apollo - so I have tried to just hit enter and enter the Apollo's PW but Putty always tells me its the wrong password.
second edit: I tried to use command prompt, diskpart, list disk, list volume, select volume 7 (that is the jump drive), format fs=FAT32 override (tried the override command to see if it would trump the limit of 32 gb) but it states that I cannot format the drive to FAT32 because the size of the drive is too big
