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

On example machine 10.0.0.1, logged in as john: scp -r ~/folderA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/folderB It's IMHO simpler and quicker than developing the same functionality in Python. Or is there a simple module I overlooked?

transfer data from one machine to another
Hi, I have ssh access to two linux machines (both WITHOUT root account), and I'd like to copy data from one to another. Since the directory structure is different, I want to specify in a script (ideally in python, because that's what I want to learn) what to copy over like this: source: /home/john/folderA destination: /home/smith/folderB I'm a newbie on linux and ssh networking and python, so your suggestions are welcome! A small working example would be appreciated! bahoo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
