Hello,
I copy daily (with crontab) many files from our servers to my PC,
What I want is how to know if the files are copied whith success,
is there a way to know if an error has occured ?


for file in `ssh $REMOTE_SERVER ls /dir/[ab]*`
do
scp -Cr $REMOTE_SERVER:$file /tmpdir/
done



Best regards.

capture errors for scp command
and compare file lengths before/after copy.

can use md5 for creating checksum...

eg. cp file1 file2
sum file1
sum file2

The numbers from the sum output should match.
