'rsync -a' or 'scp -pr' . Trailing slashes may be very meaningful with rsync. e.g. the following two have different results: rsync dirname [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ww/bar rsync dirname/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ww/bar > > Also what happens if the directory already existed on the remote host > and has some of the same file names.

If you want that, use rsync . rsync is generally nicer than scp. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
