Once a network connection is established, I use scp as in $ scp -pr top-of-tree username@host: After the colon, relative paths are with respect to username's home. -p preserves permissions, -r for recursion, but be aware that files can be overwritten at the destination; there's no -i as in cp. With the right ssh keys in place, you don't need to type passwords. Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
