Script for copying files in unix

Hi Scripting experts, I am new to the unix scripting. Please help me out for solving the condition given below I am trying to develop a script for Copying files which are getting generated in server A to server B using scp. In serverA files are generating as for eg abc1.

I need to append these file contents to a single file in ServerB. Whenever new files are getting generated in the ServerA those file content details need to be appended at the end of the single file in serverB.

I would recommend using rsync as it will perform incremental copy. But copying such large chunk of data then you need heave bandwidth, memory resources in your system. With rsync atleast you can be safe to pick up from where you lost in case the transfer fails during the transaction.

Hello, congratulations on the blog. To big data, such as Gb or 1Tb, rysnc is better than scp. Have you used it to perform backups throughout the day? How to improve throughput, or bandwidth?

NOTE: This works because whenever rsync runs, it will copy what's different from the last time it ran.

The files from our first backup were already there, but the permissions were wrong. When we ran the second command, rsync only needed to copy what was different, so it applied the correct permissions to the files. If any new files were added to the source directory since we last ran the command, the new or updated files would be copied over as well. NOTE: Check the man pages for export for more information on additional options you can pass to your exports. NOTE: For our examples we have disabled the firewall and selinux.

So if you face any issues, check your iptables and selinux rules and add iptables rules to allow ssh connection. Related Posts. Didn't find what you were looking for?
