You can also use rsync to copy the file(s) from the download location to the clam directory on the same server. I believe rsync will make a temp file then mv it into place, plus it's an easy way to only update the files that changed. ie: rsync -av ./phish.ndb ./scam.ndb ./MSRBL-* /usr/local/share/clamav ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
