Hi everyone.
I've learned a lot by this thread.
The way to go for novice webmistresses seems to be mc (what an amazing piece of kit- thanks to whoever suggested it) or rsync.
I used rsync out of desperation.
Did I miss something? I thought you said you used the idea of naming the directory with a dot
rsync isn't bad, but I would call it serious overkill in this scenario.
Hi I'm desperately trying to learn to be a good admin. I'm far from it. In Spain companies are prepared to pay you loadsa money if you can stop them getting viruses and you can speak English and Spanish. So I tried just about all methods everyone suggested. The only ones which worked first time viz me copying and pasting from this thread to my cli were the renaming as dot (yours I think) and the rsync alternative. I also used mc as my server does not have a gui.
What amazes me is that hobbyists (it seems that most people on this site do not work as admins to earn a living) such as the folk on this list are so willing and eager to help. Indeed were it not for them I'd not be in the position I'm in now. You never get that in the workplace. All they do is complain that vista is so slow now I have the suse server in place.
Love from Lynn.
Hi list and Lynn, - well one more pro sys admin here... - the reason I didn't try to help in the first place is due to simply being afraid of giving wrong advice. - In *NIX OSses, there are usually more than one way of doing things. In your scenario, I was unsure of the correct way of doing it, mainly due to the very large amount of files (> 800) which, as noted, could cause a problem when using a simple "*". Also, the "copy dot files" is not imminently easy. - I learn all the time. - I also learned from following this thread. Best of luck! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
