Hi Brian,

Since only very few files, do `rcp` and link the files one by one

Cheers

Shalom Brian,

You have to re-create the softlinks yourself.

ln -s

Hi Brian:

You can use 'tar'. By default, 'tar' preserves symbolic links.

Create a 'tar' archive of what you need; copy the tarball to your otherserver; and un-tar it.

Hi Brian,

I would use James suggestion. I would use the tar command to create a tar and copy to the other server and untar it.

You can use sftp - it copies files instead symlinks.
