If you do rcp from hp-server (destination) or from sun server (source). It will copy all sub directories in it.

Example:

rcp sunserver:/tmp/test/ /tmp/test/

hth.

Hi Abhijit,

You can use either rcp or scp.

1. Syntax for rcp:
from Sun server:
# rcp /path_to_data hp_server:/

2. Syntax for scp, from Sun Server:
# scp /path_to_data username@hp_server:/

use scp for secure copy, for this you need to have ssh server running on either source or destination machine.

eg: scp -r source/directory user@remotemachine:/destination/directory

use rcp otherwise.
eg: rcp -r source/directory user@remotemachine:/destination/directory

Hi Abhi,
You need to set .rhosts file on both the servers. It is not allowinf to login.
See man .rhosts.

If you are not concerned about security and this servers are on private network then you can just do:

# echo + + > /.rhosts

On both the server.

Hope that helps.

You have to setup /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files setup on both machines to allow them.

in hp-ux machine:

/etc/hosts.equiv
sunserver root

i hope u r using root account on both machines.

sun machine:
/etc/hosts.equiv
hpserver root

If this backup is for one time then use scp -r option with this and give password.
