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?
Thanks.

If you want to preserve symlinks you probably want to use rsync instead of scp.

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?
Cheers!

Looks like
-H, --hard-links preserve hard links
In my experience hard links aren't very common, symlinks on the other hand are very common, and probably the type of link you were encountering.

Of course, if you want to be a really sneaky sysadmin and avoid links altogether, not to mention confuse the shit out of the developers using your system, you can always do a mount --bind as an alternative to symlinking directories ;)

Most of the other options to create as exact a duplicate as possible are bundled into the '-a' option. However, since there is no efficient way to handle hardlink matching and recreation (it needs a brute-force inode table lookup), it is left separate.

$ man rsync | grep "-H" -a, --archive archive mode; same as -rlptgoD (no -H) -H, --hard-links preserve hard links want recursion and want to preserve almost everything (with -H ply-linked files is expensive. You must separately specify -H. -H, --hard-links
