Hey all,

I'm trying to copy configuration files from my old CentOS 6.6 32 bit machine to my new CentOS 6.6 64 bit machine.

On my 32 bit machine:

[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:DB:E5:4E:9F inet addr:192.168.15.105

When I issue this command on my new 64 bit machine, 192.168.15.101:

scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105: /home/mlapier/.thunderbird /home/mlapier/.thunderbird

It copies all directories and files in 192.168.15.105: /home/mlapier/ to 192.168.15.101: /home/mlapier. I don't want all that, I just want the .thunderbird folder and all it's contents.

The user and group account numbers match on the two machines for this user so that's not the issue.

When I RTFM this is what I thought it said to do. I'm I misreading the FM or is something weird going on here?
