Dear ALL

I have two Sco Unix ver 5.0.5 servers and i want to copy one folder from server A (IP 192.168.0.1) to server B(IP 192.168.0.2).

I want a script file using maybe "ftp" to do the job

I think this has been asked before in this forum, try to search before.
Anyway I'll give you some clues:
- ftp: do it "no interactive" and use "mget"
- ssh: "tar cf - dir/ | ssh user@host tar xf -" (needs user interaction if not using cert. auth.)
Regards.
