Hi,

You need to change directory to the tree
that you wish to start.

# find . -type d -print >/tmp/dir.out

For copying a whole directory tree to another machine i use:

tar cf - | remsh "cd ; tar xvf -"

Hello Bernard,

if it only about copying a directory-tree, why not using "rcp -rp SOURCE TARGET", where SOURCE and TARGET are in the form of "[host:]directory"?

Just my $0.02,

Hi,

If you are interested in copying the directory structure only, and not the files then this may help -
find -type d | remsh " cd ; xargs mkdir -p $1"

Thanks,
Suhas

Hi

A nice routine from JRF :-

# dtree : print a hierarchy tree starting at specified directory
# (.default)

(cd ${1-.};pwd);
find ${1-.} -type d -print | sort -f | sed -e "s,^${1-.},," -e "/^$/d" -e "s,[^/
]*/\([^/]*\)$,\`-------\1," -e "s,[^/]*/,| ,g"
#
