Hey, Ah, in that case then the `sshfs mount && cp -sR` idea is probably going to work best. If you don't want to get sshfs running then you could also try generating the links on the server side then using scp/rsync to get them. Something like: m...@server $ cd /tmp/links && cp -sR /path/to/dir ./ && rsync -a /tmp/links/ m...@laptop:~/links/`hostname` cheers, Owen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
