Hi,

Apologies in advance - out of my scope here but would love your help.

I have the following command on destination system to copy data from one system to another:

```nohighlight
rcmd [Sourcemachine] "cd data; find . -print|cpio -ocB" | dd ibs=5k obs=5k|cpio -iducmvB

```

I am looking to run a once off command from the Sourcemachine to push the data on the sourcemachine to the destination machine.

Thanks in advance

Do you have `scp` , `rcp` or `rsync` available? With a here-script you could also use `sftp` or `ftp` for the transfer.
