G'day,
I'd appreciate somebody pointing me where to look for info on how to
copy files from a home directory on one machine to a directory on
another machine via network.
I've got about 100GB of data I need to copy from my desktop running
ubuntu 9.04 on to a laptop running Debian Squeeze which are both at my home.
I'm not even sure how to word it in just a few words so I can google it.
Thanking you all in advance.
rsync can do it, and you can interrupt transfers and continue later if
necessary. It also preserves permissions, ownership, etc.
