Anyone have suggestions on a set of shell commands I can pipe together to:
- Batch transfer multiple files & directories from a windows (server
2000) machine onto a Linux machine
- Maintain as many of the original file permissions as will make it
across the samba link
- Maintain the original file save dates from the windows side (the
first time I did a mass cp, it changed all the target-file dates to the
day of the copy)
- Set the archive bit on the source media, so that if I have to do
this again to catch updates I can just grab updated files.
Last night google led me to a website describing a way to start with
tar, pipe that output to a couple of commands to transfer to the new
machine, then un-tar it out to the new drive. Unfortunately, I can't
find that page again -- and until I go home, I won't be able to check my
browser history.
Suggestions? Help? Por favor?
Richard B.
