Copying files to different linux machines using scp
Hi alll

i had a file authorized_keys on machine one. now i need to copy this authorized keys file into machine2,machine 3.....

i use

scp authorized_keys root@192.168.168.11:/tmp/
for copying file .


is there ant way to copy the same filr to multiple machines at one go


what i mean is

scp auth_keys root@192.168.168.10
root@192.168.168.11
root@192.168.168.12

file should be copied all machines

Easiest way:

Script like this:
for I in 192.168.168.10 192.168.168.11 192.168.168.12; do echo $I; scp $1 root@$I:$2 ; done

Two arguments are required:
- 1st what do you want to copy
- 2nd where do you want to copy it

You can hardcode arguments instead of using $1 and $2 is script.

Regards,
-Artur.
