Erm, newer than *what*? find needs a file as a comparison parameter to detetermine whether another file is newer than it or not. I assume you mean you want to copy only files from host1 to host2 which exist on both machines, with host1 potentially holding newer versions that should get synchronized to host2. Before you break your neck with (absolutely well possible) scripting solutions, I suggest you have a look at rsync, which uses SSH for transport by default now as well. Or maybe check out rdiff-backup, of which a port has just been submitted (AFAIK) if a backup is what you're after: http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ Cheers, Jan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
