Hello,
The new server is in and I am about to attempt the file transfers. I have NEVER attempted this and want to do it right the first time.
Reading the man pages for cp and scp it looks as if the -a switches are different. Are they? I want/am going to transfer files/directories across the local network. Should I work from the new machine or the old? What files are machine dependent? In other words, what files, if any, should not be copied because of hardware differences?
Sorry for all the seemingly stupid questions but as I said, I have never undertaken this before.
TIA
