I would reccomend tarring up files before transport, that way they are intact, permissions are intact as is ownership. gzipping them may be a good idea too tar -cvf filename.tar file1 file2 file3 gzip filename.tar (or bzip2 filename.tar) then extract them at the new location.. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
