Hi,

you can use scp command with -r option to copy directories.

scp -r /etc/xxx ip:/etc/yyy

another way is using tar with ssh.

tar cvf - /etc/xxx | ssh ip "( cd /etc/yyy ; tar xvf - )"

or rsync with ssh, after creating public keys and distributing between servers

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz -e ssh /etc/xxx/* user@target_ip:/etc/yyy/

can you ssh/scp to the remote system? If so this is simple
scp /etc/XXX :/

Hi VINAY,

I don't know what do you mean by "script", but if there are no special conditions, following can be used:

machineA# cd /etc/YYY
machineA# ssh machineB -n "cd /etc/XXX; tar cpf - ." | tar xvf -

cheers

To have it automated with no password prompt, as is necessary for the script, you'll want to set up a public key pair for SSH/SCP.

You'd simply set no password on the private key, and insure that the permissions on the private key file are such that only the account associated with the script can read it. You can also restrict the key to support only this connection and command using options in the authorized_keys file.
