[SGVLUG] Moving files in a safe way

[Ted Arden]

HAHHAHHA.. cpio.. sorry.. i had flashback to the 80's
(not really 80's, but you know what i mean)

funny, i still use it from time to time, but rsync kinda
works.

you didn't tell us about the target/source machines so
i would think that rsync with compression should do well.

rsync - e - c etcc....

although, if it's a trusted network, there's all sorts
of possibilities.
