Please gimme advice. References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm about to move files from machine1 to machine2. The files on machine1 are /usr/home/www/. I want to put them in /home/ on machine2. I've found an optional parameter opt_dest_name to the install command, but any way I try to apply it my rdist returns syntax error. Someone's got a clue or a lead ? It doesn't seem to matter if I define TO = (/tmp), and then install -h ${TO} ; or if I symply do install -h /tmp ; What's goin' wrong Cheers Michael
