Use rsync over ssh.
i've already done 98 or so straight scp copies. the thing is how
to use rsync over to an empty ethic? [[ empty == "there are no \
dot files not .directories"] i want EVERYTHING from this desktop,
tao, temp on ethic.
thanks
You can just use rsync in cooperation with find command.
I've used it before, but found this as an example with a web search.
rsync -avR remote:'`find /home -name "*.[ch]"`' /tmp/
Just reverse the order.
