For local synchronization I'd use rsync, cpio, or tar: rsync example: rsync -avu /source/path /destination/path cpio example: cd /source/path; find . | cpio -pvumd /destination/path tar example: cd /source/path; tar cf - . | ( cd /destination/path && tar xvf - ) -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nguyen, Long P (Mission Systems) Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 12:48 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: rdist command "Permission denied."
