scp

Does anyone have a scp script with a good error check, I am trying to do a script that can get a directory from one server to the other.

You can always use the exsit code out of the scp command!

for example:

scp node1:/source_dir node2:/destination_dir
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
  then
    echo "scp Successful" 
  else
    echo "scp Unsuccessful" 
fi

If this is not what's in your mind then posting your script will help me more in identifying your exact requirement.

Thanks, that will do.

rsync+ssh is more reliable for such copying I think...

eg.:

rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/
