Copying directory in another server

[ranjank]

Hi,

I want to copy a particular file in the directory to another server.In the script i'm using scp option.Is there any way to create directory in another server thru script.

e.g

scp /abc/xyz root@10.1.1.1:/pqr/

I want to copy /abc/xyz in /pqr directory in another server.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
RK.

You can use the scp -r switch to copy the contents of /abc/xyz including its subdirectories.

But to make the /pqr directory on the destination you will need to run a separate command first, for example ssh root@10.1.1.1 mkdir /pqr.

Why not create the directory on the server your copying from move the file you want to copy into that directory. Then use the -r to recusively copy the directory & file over.

Another option

cat /abc/xyz | ssh root@10.1.1.1 "[[ -d /pqr ]] || mkdir /pqr; cat > /pqr/xyz"
