I have a directory on a HP-UX server which has files created by many users. I wish to rcp files to another server but only for a certain user or owner.

The files will have the same group but different owners.

Can anyone help please?

Regards
Greg

Use find :
find . -user username -exec rcp {} remote_server:/remote_dir \;
