I didn't explain myself properly in my OP. I'm trying to use the Terminal to do it. Anyway, I worked it out. simply unrar x myfile.rar /media/linuxlite/mydevice/ where myfile.rar is the filepath for the rar and mydevice is the external drive location. I also experimented with mv to move the file from /home to /mydevice and that worked. So, I'm slowly learning! Of course your way works too as I tried. I'm writing this in case anyone searches in the future.

Glad you worked it out :)

A nice idea. I didn't even know they existed. Thanks.

Jerry,

Is there a list of the most frequently used command Terminal commands and what they do? I know this isn't LL specific. 

And while I've got you can I just say thank you for LL. I developed an audio-visual condition in 2013. I used a high-ish end mac upto then. Now I can only use low spec machines. I'm on a Dell D610. LL runs fine on it. That and a piece of Linux software that a work colleague wrote for free (my employer doesn't support Linux) has enabled me to keep working the same job.

Unrar is already installed in Linux Lite. Just extract the file by double clicking on it like you would a zip package. You can then extract the rar file to anywhere that you have permissions to.
