Creation and Transfer of TAR file from one machine to another Using UNIX script

rahuljadhav · #1 (**permalink**) 08-22-2003

Hi,

I want to create unix script such that it should run on machine A, it should run TAR commands on machine B and copy that TAR to machine C.

Is it possible?

Thanks
Rahul

Hi Rahul

Does the script have to run on box A? Why don't you get the script to run on box B?

It will then be possible to run the script and automate an ftp to box C

Cheers
Helen

Is there any particular reason for writing this script? I'm thinking a cron job on Box B that creates a tar of the files/dir that you want. Then another cron on Box B that runs rsync to back that tar up to Box C. Actually, I currently use this process in backing up some of my servers.
