Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network
There is a -B (batch mode) option that prevents asking for passwords. I'm not sure how that would work though. I expect that the target system's user account would need to have no password in that case, but I'm not sure of that. rsync really isn't much different syntax wise from scp, and it allows for a --password-file option that's handy when using the command in scripts.

Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network
The way to do scp transfers without a password is to set up SSH key authentication on both boxes. Here's a starting point.

Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network
Josef, You have left out quite a bit of information. I have only seen one close answer so far, IMO. Firstly What is the network type? Home, Business? Second Critical info or non-critical? Third Operating system/s involved Fourth Amount of time sharing will be needed? Fifth Type of equipment? So far we only know you want to transfer over wireless to 2 pc's and to a wired number of pc's. Without knowing if you are using a true HUB, router or switch, this is difficult to answer. With many assuming it is a Linux environment, scp is ok, but there are simpler methods. If this is an office/home environment and it has mixed OS's there are still better solutions. What type of file sharing are we looking at? Do you need to do all day everyday transfers or just copy small files periodically? Are you working in a strictly peer to peer environment or a server (Domain) type of environment? Application sharing (such as with Point in Real Estate) or someother Database app? All of these and more need to answered for a good accurate solution.! Simply put, SCP may not be the best answer. Also you have not said what type of internet access there will be. If none, ten everything changes. Please provide specifics.. Trust me, the more info you provide, the better the answers you will receive.

Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network
BTW, another easier way to do the static address thing is to assign addresses outside the DHCP range. There is not a hard and fast rule to know what the range is (unless you look at the router configuration) but if your addresses start with 192.168.0.2-3-4, it is safe to assign 192.168.0.250-251-253 to your computers (unless you plug 253 computers to the router... :) If your address is 192.168.1.100, then find the computer in the network with the lowest address and use addresses below it. Make sure you don't duplicate the IP of the router (wich normally ends on .1). Or follow the manufacturer's instructions, log in the router, find the range (under DHCP configuration) and be safe... :) Enrique Ryan Rix writes: Hi, Eekers, thanks for the catch :) /me is used to writing to actual dir's after so just assumed it would right to ~ in that case. -- Thanks and best regards, Ryan Rix TamsPalm - The PalmOS Blog I don't want to touch you too much baby, 'cause making love to you might drive me crazy On Wed October 22 2008 04:16:47 pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is true but, Just a note: scp *.jpg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will copy all the files ending in .jpg to a directory named [EMAIL PROTECTED] in THIS machine, if it exists, or it will abort with an error.

Re: How to transfer files between computers on a network
scp is certainly easy to use. rsync is much more efficient in a scenario where you're trying to keep a backup copy in sync. After the first copy, which isn't much different from scp performance wise, rsync only copies files that have changed. With either program, ownerships and permissions can get screwed up if you're not careful to use the proper flags. -a for 'archive' is usually a good choice for rsync, -p to preserve permissions and dates for scp.

I assume we are talking about Linux systems? The answers may vary if there there are Windows systems in the mix. My rule of thumb is roughly this: For one file, one time, I use 'scp' For lots of files, I use 'rsync' For one file, multiple times, I use 'rsync' For multiple arbitrary files (pick-and-choose), I use the 'fish://' protocol in Konqueror. I also use 'fish://' if I want to preview the files before transferring them. More? For copying to Windows boxes, I copy the files onto a Samba share. Or I use 'rsync' via Cygwin For copying to OS X, I either use Samba (already set up for my Windows systems) or AppleShare (via netatalk). Or rsync or scp or fish:// For making a perfect copy to a remote system, I tar it up and send to stdout which is piped to ssh which tunnels it to tar accepting data via stdin. (I've also used NFS and iSCSI a bit but that's more sharing files than copying them) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
