Recursively copy only specific files from a directory tree
Hi
I am a shell-script newbie and am looking to synchronize certain files in two directory structures.

Both these directory-trees are in CVS and so I dont want the CVS directory to be copied over.

I want only .sh and .pl files in each subdirectory under these directory trees to be synchronized.

How do I achieve this?

Thanks
SharpShark
