thanks for suggestion but req is diff here...I have to move the files daily through a cron script.....your suggestion will work if I do once....

but If i do daily then I have to copy the files(and not the links which are created already)...so If I do tar and move the files in my new location I will get error as directory already exist....Smilie

I am working on a shell script whcih will create the exact directory structire in the new location, move the files and create a link to it....


by the time any new suggestions are appreciated....Smilie
