If you want to transfer data just once you can even use "scp -r", should be fine. Or you use pipe, something like: source-host~$ cd /source/path ; tar -cf - | ssh user@remotehost "( cd /path/to/destination ; tar -xf -)" If you did setup key based authentication you won't be asked for a password. In case of a "real" sync that you want to do on a regular basis I think rsync over ssh is the best choice. Rsync has some nice features to just update what is needed. And again you can setup key based authentication to allow a connection without having the need to enter a password. HTH Christian > > Thanks in advance for any help > >
