I am trying to do an rsync or scp from machine1 to machine2. I am getting arg list to long.
I am using centos 5 machine 1 and centos 4.5 on machine2.
I am using the default shell which is bash.
How can I get past this?
Thanks, Jerry
I would use find and xargs. That's usually how I get around it. You'll have to experiment though. Something like: find ./ -type f | xargs scp ..... That's not a fully functional command!
