There are many ways you could do this, but the first thing that pops into my head is:

U can try this way also...

#scp sample.log newfile.log

Using scp you will copy the file in it's entirety and there would be no reason to use scp over cp. Since you don't need to copy to another host using ssh.

thanks all,

I got it working from MS3FGX..
