It seems rsync will be a lot easier to learn and use than rcp... you just need a working sshd on the other machine with port 22 open. Then rsync -av /path/on/local/box user@remoteip:/path/on/remote/box is all you need to copy the local contents of /path/on/local/box to /path/on/remote/box on the other machine. As a side issue, if it happens that some of the files are already there, they won't get sent again, speeding things up. Eg, rsync -av /home/fred root@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/backups/fred AFAIK rcp bulk transfer is not encrypted, whereas with rsync-over-ssh it will be. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
