You need to use scp.

scp "file_to_be_copied" remote_host:/dir_path/.

Thank you very much :)))

You can as well as use sftp (secure ftp). It is having more options than scp. scp will not support wild card support with regexp as,

/remote/file_*.123 like that.

hth.

when you use only scp you have preblem with small files.

better use tar to slove this isue.

#tar -zcf - /source_dir |ssh root@ip_dest_server tar -zxf - -C /dest_dir

Hi Muthukumar,

I'm not following your example. I've been using asterisk (*) wildcard with scp every day for years. Did you mean scp can't do "more complex" regular expressions than the example you showed?

If you wish to syncronize files between servers, you could do:

/usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete -e '/usr/bin/ssh' /targetDir user@destinationServer:/destinationDir

from the server you wish to syncronize from, or reverse the directory parms to pull from the target server.
