All, I was trying to scp a large directory from server to my box (server on FC and my desktop on etch). I use scp -r option to copy all the files. But when it happens that the scp fails somewhere, i cannot ask it to continue by omitting the ones it has already copied. For example in the standard cp command, i can give a '-i' option to interactively ask if the command is going to overwrite a file already present. Why is this option not present in scp ?
PS: I did a workaround by setting the already copied files as r-------- which helps by not allowing scp to overwrite the file, but just curious if there is any other proper method to do this. -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
