SCP without changing permissionss
Hi all,

I need to copy files from server-1 to server-2.

But i need to preserve the permissions.

What i exactly need to preserve is only the owner of the file. I have a diff group name in the Server -2 ...
is there any way to specify whom to be owner of the file and which group should me owner for files by using SCP....


Server -1 : -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 groupA 5115374 Apr 15 15:30 no.txt

to copied to server -2 which should look like

Server -2: -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 groupB 5115374 jul 12 15:30 no.txt

Please help
thanks,

scp -p will allow you to preserve modes, atime, mtime but not UID/GID.

If you want to preserve all the file's attributes, use rsync

Quote:
rsync -ave ssh /path/to/file user@host:/path/to/file
Actually, rsync will allow you to preserve just the 'uid' or 'gid', but won't let you rewrite these details. Might be best to change those values after the transfer.
