file synchronizer shell

[123654789]

hi,

I am using Mandriva and i would like to make a script with shell.

I try to do a file synchronizer and I need to go recursively on a directory containing several files and subdirectories etc. .. and retrieve information on the modification date, names ...

My first question: I have some problems to create a recursive function to browse the given directory tree .Someone could help me?

the second question: how can I recover directories located on another pc connected to my pc.

Again thank you in advance.

hi,

you can use the find command to go recursively through a given tree.
for example the following will display with details every file or directory under /

find / -exec ls -l {} \;
