By default, when scp copies links from a machine to another, it transfers the actual file instead. How can I make scp to create the corresponding link in the destination machine, instead of copying the file, and increasing the occupied space in disk?

It can't. Use rsync instead. (You don't need an rsync server, rsync can connect to an ssh server.) -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson, Cinnober Financial Technology AB ! Industrigatan 2A, S-112 46 STOCKHOLM !

Alternatively, you can tunnel tar through ssh. I keep it in a script and call it sshtar. It copies files from a remote directory into the current directory.

#!/bin/sh if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ] || [ -z "$3" ]; then printf "\n\n\tExample:\n\n\t\tsshtar username hostname_or_ip /dir/to/copy\n\n" exit 0 fi /usr/bin/ssh $1@$2 "cd $3 ; tar cf - ." | tar xvfBp -

ssh -Tenone "$1" "tar -cC \"$3\"" | tar -xvp for great justice. -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
