I am trying to copy the files modified from specific date to current date from Source server to target server with same directory structure. I have created the script for copying files from Source directory to target directory in same server. Now looking for 2 different Linux servers.

Source server: Source34.abc.net

Directory and files: /home/Amal/db/tmp/File1.txt, /home/Amal/db/work/File2.txt, /home/Amal/db/out.xml

Target Server: Target30.efg.net

Directory : /home/Amal/db/tmp/ /home/Amal/db/work/

Want to achieve:

  1. Sftp from source server to Target server
  2. Copy the files from source to Target with the same folder structure

NOTE: Source and Target will have same Directory structure

    Do you only have sftp access to both servers? This could be easily accomplished with ssh access to both.

  • @Jos - Yes we do have the SSH permissions as well.

  • Try rsync as explained here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/183504/…

  • I would anytime choose ssh over sftp. The command you should be looking at is scp

  • @Jos - rsync is not available in our Linux servers. I am trying to connect to source server, Find the files modified or created between 2 dates, And then copy into Target server with the same directory structure.

Probably the most easiest way to use scp through ssh.

Open terminal in source system and type in the command below

scp <source-directory> -i <path-to-ssh-key> <ipaddress-of-target>@<user>:<target-directory>
