Hi,

I need to write a script to scp/sftp files from server A to server B..But i do not want to overwrite the files which already exist on server B.

Anyone has a script which does the above

Regards

Suse has a builtin command: rsync

It does EXACLTY what you want - sync up a local and a remote directory.

Hi

Do you have any idea how to avoid the server from prompting for user /password before rsync

Something other than

"ssh-keygen -t rsa
"

It does not seem to work.

I have to copy some files from source (SERVER B) as user oracle.
FROM B to A

So i generated a key connected as user oracle on the target machine (SERVER A).

I copied the pub key onto the server (where i will be copying the files from say server B) under /home/oracle and have added it to authorisedkeys.

But it does NOT work

Thanks
