[olug] Unix Tip: FTY AUTOMATED TRANSFERS

[Trent Melcher]

SSH is available in Netware 6.5,  I dont think any older versions has it.
DOnt know if you can add it to older versions either.

The problem with scp is that I can't do this to a NetWare server, that I am
aware of.  I have been using the .netrc and script for about 2 years now to
keep my website updated.  Twice a day.

scp will do this (in fewer steps no less).

scp sourceFile username at targetComputer:/path/to/destination/

Or, for a full directory transfer:

scp -r sourceDirectory username at targetComputer:/path/to/destination/

enter your password.  enjoy a beverage.

scp is the Secure Copy utility provided in the OpenSSL packages (I
think... er... could be wrong here).  It can do a bunch more stuff too.

A longer (and better) explanation is available at

(Shameless plug).  :^)
