Hey guys. I have a program written in which i am trying to get the files from one remote machine and transferring the files to another remote machine using SCP.
It works fine for 50 or 60 files but when the files grows to 250 then i get an error message stating "Arg list too long".
Let me know if you would like to see the full code. I know i can accomplish the same task using FTP but was wondering if theres a way to do it through SCP.
I do ls -l ABC*, I get arg list too long message. This will not happen if ABC* has small no of files I believe 4000 files is limit. Any way of avoiding this.
I even tried like this
for i in `ls -l ABC*`
do
echo $i
done
Same problem.
Any solution would be great.
