If you prefer scp you can make a tar archive of contents first: tar -cvvf package.tar.gz /tmp/foo and transfer it to beta.org: scp package.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/bob/www/bar In beta.org: cd /home/bob/www/bar ; tar xvzf package.tar.gz ; rm package.tar.gz Issuing this command on alpha.org will synchronize content of /tmp/foo to /home/bob/www/bar in beta.org: rsync -a /tmp/foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/bob/www/bar Scp will overwrite your files if beta.org has same filesnames in that directory. - Henri Salo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
