If you have a secured connection I like using rcp. (complied without the evil conversion to using scp) scp works too but has more overhead and for rsh maintains permissions better. (I think) One thing to keep in mind is that if you are copying OS files, you may run into files that have the file (immutable) flags set such that even as root, you cannot update or overwrite them while in multiuser. (see chflags) Hope this helps. Nicole The Large Print Giveth And The Small Print Taketh Away -- Anon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
