Hi, I'm sure there are a zillion ways of doing this, but rather than re-invent the wheel I thought I'd use my best skill - "The ability to ask someone else and plaguerise :)"
So, I would like to poll a remote server (production app server) find files (log files) in a specific directory tree (recursive) and copy any over, say day old, to the local machine. I would like to do it in a secure way using ssh or some such mechanism. I can't put anything on the production machine, at best I could have it run a job to prepare a list of files for the remote to poll and trawl through. All pointers and suggestions appreciated :) Stu. Ps Why you ask? Well, there is no log file retention policy, logging is done locally and there is not enough disk to keep the log files for the period they are usually required - Yes I know - Please don't ask !!
