Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers transfering a directory to the toolman Post 302239935 by Smiling Dragon on Wednesday 24th of September 2008 07:18:37 PM

Ah, I see now. scp with no commandline switches will expect a plain file and will barf if you give it a directory instead. No worries however, just add the '-r' flag to your commandline to tell scp to copy the directory and everything within it (it will create '/home/assn3' directory on toolman.wiu.edu - do you have sufficient permissions to do that? If not, try leaving off the '/home' part of the commandline altogether to create the assn3 dir in your home directory on toolman).

If you just want to recursivly list all files in the assn3 dir (for example), you can either run 'ls -R assn3'. If you only want to see what's in assn3 but don't need ot know what's in any subdirs of assn3, just run 'ls assn3'.

createhomedir

createhomedir(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  createhomedir(1)

NAME

     createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer.

SYNOPSIS

     createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username]

DESCRIPTION

     createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories.

OPTIONS

     -s       creates home directories for server home paths only (default).

     -c       creates home directories for local home paths only.

     -b       creates home directories for both server and local home paths.

     -a       creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path.

     -l       creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain.

     -L       causes the created home directory to be localized.

     -n directoryDomainName
	      creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path.

     -u username
	      creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a,
	      -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed.

     -i       reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line.

     -h       usage help.

FILES

     /usr/sbin/createhomedir			   location of tool

CAVEATS

     When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible
     home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly.
