Dear experts,

I am currently downloading thousands of files from remote file server using scp command.
What happen was, after downloading 1/3 of total files the connection had broken. Then I started from scratch to download again.

I would like to know if there is any command that can do the copying only the remaining files but not those files which are already have been downloaded.


note: When searched internet, I came across something like

If there are files same file name then it will say 'yes' with copying. But I want for SCP not for CP command

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

you should be using rsync for this. Eg something like:

You may not need the "-e ssh" since rsync is usually setup to transfer over ssh by default.

HTH,
