SCP logfiles from one server to another server

Hi,

I want to copy all the logs except current date logs from one server to another server every day, so i want to write a script for it and put it in crontab.

Can anyone help how to write the script.

Regards,
Srini

Are the log files using a timestamp in the name or something? Why are you going to keep copying logfiles that may have been copied over already. Why not copy all files over just once and then copy yesterdays files over to the other server?
