Hello,
I am not sure how feasible is it, but trying to copy/create the folders from one box to another. I dont want to copy the content of folder otherwise it'd be too much of data..
The folder structure is quite complex (in deep hierarchy) and its a big effort manually ..
Please suggest
Thanks in Advance
Do you want to copy , preserve file mode, time , ownership or just re-create the same hierarchy ?
If you only want to copy the directory structure you can try this:
cd source_dir
find . -type d -depth | cpio -dumpl destination_dir
Regards
If you have rsync:
rsync -avz -e ssh --include '*/' --exclude '*' local_source_dir user@host:/dest_dir
Use --dry-run to test.
Yet another one:
cd destination/dir
find /source/dir -type d -printf "%P\n" | xargs mkdir -p
Be extremely careful not to overwrite source dir. Make few test first in /tmp
