How are the systems connected?

NFS: cp -p

ftp: tar it up first or use pax(1), cpio(1) or zip.

scp: scp -p

(There is such a thing as cut & paste, it's magic. ;-)

It's lower case -p.

Hi rajesh73,

You can use rcp command:

For example from source_server:

rcp -rp .../file.tar root@destination_server:.../file.tar

where .../file.tar is the file in the source server and .../file.tar is the file inside the destination server.

If you want to copy one file to the same directory to a remote server you can go to the directory that you want (for example cd /tmp) and then:

rcp -rp test.txt hpsep2:$pwd

Where test.txt is the file that you want to copy and hpsep2 is the name of your remote server

Best regards,

Spyros
