Copy files from machine1 to machine2
 

Hello,

I am trying to copy files from a machine1 to a machine2. I was looking at a thread of 2006 they were using nc but so far i could not find this command.

Any new command or other way to do the copy?

Thanks,
DOm

How are the two machines connected? NFS, Cifs, etc.

Hi

Yes you can use scp,rsync commands to copy files from a machine1 to a machine2.

they are connected by a router, yes?

turn sshd on for both the remote computer.

This should do it. :)

Or you could try scp, but scp won't recover from errors like rsync will, so I suggest rsync.

Also, read the man pages on rsync to get more info on options.

Good luck!

rsync is good for copying files
 

I have to copy files between servers all the time. If you need a bunch copied, use rsync:

rsync -avP --exclude="/proc" root@<server>:/ .

The above will copy all files from <server> to the current directory (the dot), excluding the /proc directory. Look at the man page for rsync to see what the "-avP" options do.
