If it's a one time kind of job, from the machine with the data on it 'scp foo username@machinename:/home/username/destination/' or from remote 'scp username@machinename:/home/username/filename .' will copy to the directory from which you execute the command. If you need to mirror then a .bashrc function in conjunction with a script can help: mirror () { ~/bin/rsync-clients } #!/bin/bash #rsync mirror of daddy:/raid0/studio/clients, do not delete local files which don't exist at the source--daddy:/..., follow links outside the source directory, cp links to local destination directory--do not create link structure or copy to that destination on local--parker.multitrack.us:/mirror/studio/clients/LINK, #kill with ctrl-c, --partial allows resuming of session #remove trailing /clients from destination rsync --rsh=ssh --times --perms --owner --verbose --progress --compress --recursive --stats --partial --copy-links --delete --temp-dir=/mirror/tmp --bwlimit=0 studio@step:/home/studio/clients/mirror/studio Please do experiment with some test data. Despite the description of what that script should do I don't recall whether I changed the flags. ron I don't > know anything about making either of these > technologies work, and > obviously I don't want to start building kernels or > anything like that > to get there. > > Has anyone got a tutorial on how to do this > easily.
