SCP and overwriting
Hi all,
I want to scp some files from one server to the other, but I need NOT to overwrite the existing files. Is there a way to do so? Some CLI file manager that could do it (afaik, Midnight Commander can't)?
I'm using this command on CentOS.

The easiest way would be to simply rename the files when copying them over...
Or, create a new directory to copy them over to.Code:scp original.file remote_server@address:/path/of/directory/to/copy/to/copy_of_original.file

No, I needed to copy a directory recursively, so this solution is not useful for me. But I have just found the 'rsync' command which does exactly what I wanted. Thanx, anyway
