Here is what I do with rsync: rsync -aPn directory machineB:~/directory The 'n' option just does a dry run. After you are convinced things are working then remove the 'n' option. If you put a trailing slash on the first directory, i.e. rsync -aPn directory/ machineB:~/directory you will get a new directory created on machineB, i.e. ~/directory/directory John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
