Re: Re: scp+find, a little help please
Hello, Well, I tried both the standford tarballs and the ports' stuff. Both fail with this. Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this? ...Before I scrounge around in the code, that is... . Well, dunno, really - I didn't cvsup my ports and tried to build it, since I'm currently on site at a client where I can only get HTTP access. I only read about it on the ports mailing list - looks like some GNU automake fubar to me, wouldn't come too surprising. I suggest you take the good advice from Chuck and stick with rsync, which of course *does* synchronize directories and symlinks as well (and is a very popular solution for such things). Simply use rsync's archive mode (see manpage and Chuck's posting, -a), which implies -r for recursion.

scp+find, a little help please
Hi, Need to set up scp to copy only newer files and directories between two computers. The basic setup is like: scp -pr [EMAIL PROTECTED]:find command host2:/dir What would be a suitable find command here?

Hi there, Need to set up scp to copy only newer files and directories between two computers. The basic setup is like: scp -pr [EMAIL PROTECTED]: host2:/dir What would be a suitable find command here? 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]

Or maybe I'm completely wrong... I'll have a look at rdiff then. But as you say, it should be perfectly possible with scp too - Thanks, ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
