Hi, >> # scp -r /tmp root@xxxxxxxxxx:/tmp/test I used to use "rcp -rp ..." but there's an issue with this (& "scp -r ..." will probably has the same issue) : the permissioning/ownership & timestamp of the destination files may not be the same as in the source despite that "p" (preserve) option is there. So I used : tar cvf - . | rsh remote_host 'cd /tmp/test; tar xvf -' which retains the timestamp/permissioning. Anyone wants to try with "tar" & "scp"? tar zcvf - /usr/local/apache/htdocs | ssh root@xxxxxxx "cat > /var/www/html/htdocs.tar.gz" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
