Hi All
Is there an ftp style app for SCP on linux. I'm running SuSE 7.2 For either console or KDE that does recursive coping of files and directories. Example:
--------------------------------- | Local System | Remote System | | /home/ | /opt/packages/| --------------------------------- |.. |.. | |some files |some files | --------------------------------- <---- ---->
Hi Steven OpenSSH/SSH now has a utility called sftp which is interactive with the same commands as ftp, however it doesn't seem to have a recursive option to get or put... Personally I don't use sftp, rather I use rsync with the "-r" (recursive) and "-e ssh" (Encrypt/tunnel through ssh) option. Rsync is incredibly powerful, and there is really no reason to use scp if you have rsync installed. Rsync comes as an rpm on the suse cd's, and is now part of the LSB (Linux Standards Base) so it should be installed on any current distro. If you don't have or don't want rsync, scp have a -r (recursive) option that will also do what you want... -- Viel Spaß Nix - nix@susesecurity.com http://www.susesecurity.com
