A small working example would be appreciated!
Try rsync, if you need a second run, it will only copy what has been modified in the source. rsync -var -e ssh /home/john/folderA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/smith/folderB Should be enough. Remove 'v' for less verbose operation. -- Research is what I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm doing. (von Braun) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
