[SunHELP] RE: RE: Copying data from one server to another

Thanks to all for your assistance, its really appreciated. Since I don't
have SSH (yet !), I chose to go the following route:

tar cvfp - . | (cd /<newdir>; tar xvfp -)

Thanks again !

you can do this:

cd /export/home       #Or where ever

#for i in *
do
echo $i
tar -cpf - $1 | ssh <ipaddress of new server> 'tar -C /export/home -cpf -'
done


 if you like bash scripting.  I like, this is the way I do it if I can't
mount the drives on another server.
