Remote Linux server to remote linux server dir copy. How? [closed]

Answer 1

I think you can try with:

rsync -azvu -e ssh user@host1:/directory/ user@host2:/directory2/

(and I assume you are on host0 and you want to copy from host1 to host2 directly)

If the above does not work, you could try:

ssh user@host1 "/usr/bin/rsync -azvu -e ssh /directory/ user@host2:/directory2/"

in the this, it would work, if you already have setup passwordless SSH login from host1 to host2

Answer 2

Use rsync so that you can continue if the connection gets broken. And if something changes you can copy them much faster too!

Rsync works with SSH so your copy operation is secure.

Answer 3

scp will do the job, but there is one wrinkle: the connection to the second remote destination will use the configuration on the first remote destination, so if you use .ssh/config on the local environment, and you expect rsa and dsa keys to work, you have to forward your agent to the first remote host.

Answer 4

rsync -avlzp /path/to/folder name@remote.server:/path/to/remote/folder

Answer 5

Well, quick answer would to take a look at the 'scp' manpage, or perhaps rsync - depending exactly on what you need to copy. If you had to, you could even do tar-over-ssh:

tar cvf - | ssh server tar xf -

Answer 6

scp -r <directory> <username>@<targethost>:<targetdir>
