We have CENTOS 5.3 on DELL servers. I tried to us following command to copy remote files system to local:
scp -rp oracle@ORA2:/home/app/oracle/10.2 .
After SCP finish copy, I found some files on source file system using "link" but on target file systems it change to "physical file".
Does there has way scp not change "link" setup?
I've always preferred 'rsync -essh -aHv source host:path' over scp for remote copies. It will generally get everything right and in the case where part of the content is already there it is much more efficient.
I know I'm going to be embarrassed by the answer to this one but I've checked a couple rsync and ssh references, including man rsync, and do not find an option -H. What is it?
