Re: File transfer using ssh

[Alexander List <alex@babenberg.vc-graz.ac.at>]

scp will also work for entire directory structures with the -r flag.

But please read the manpage and try to understand it before bothering the
security list. The SYNOPSIS section should be enough for your most urgent
needs ;-)

You might also consider the tip posted before to use rsync (rsync -e ssh)
to transfer entire directory structures, especially if you want to do
regular mirroring of stuff thats 90% identical. Rsync uses a quite
sophisticated algorithm to only transfer the stuff that has actually
changed.
