I am installing a new server and have to copy many files from old server
to new. I have connected a windows box to each via samba, and am dragging
from one to the other via the windows box.
This might seem like a silly question, but what is the way to copy
-directly- from one fbsd box to another?
Usually NFS or scp. There are other choices, though.
For many situations my favorite is tar+netcat (w/ optional bzip2 compression).
On the destination host:
cd /some/path
nc -l 1234 | tar -xjvf -
And on the source host:
cd /some/path
tar -cjvf - relative/path/to/source/dir | nc destip 1234
If you don't want compression leave out the 'j' flag in both calls to tar.
scp is your best bet if you need encryption though (take note of the -r and -C
flags).
