mirrorring with scp is it possible?

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Shaun:  You can use scp but it has a tendency to stall with weird
network traffic.  I suggest you use rsync which works very well, uses
ssh and does not stall.  A typical command line for rsync looks like
this:

rsync -au -e ssh from_host:from_dir to_host:to_dir &

The 'au' means archive and update only.  The 'e' means use ssh
encryption and the to and from things are optional depending on
exactly what you wish to do.
