I have had a look at rsync which also seems complicated. Anyway it seems that I need to set up SSH first, so I must work out how to do that.I'd also look into using rsync (which needs ssh or rsh) if you want to easilly copy a few (or lots) of files that change infrequently. (or frequently) It's easier to just type the rsync command (or put it in a script) and let it work out which files have changed than to remember to upload the files you've changed recently...
The only thing complicated about rsync is working out when it's going to copy a directory or create a new one inside an existing one.
Read the man page as it's sensitive about trailing slashes on pathnames. Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
