@Edent For this kind of bulk LAN copy I tend to use tar piped to netcat. Something likenc -l 9999 | tar -x -f-on the receiver, andtar -c -f- <dir> | nc <host> 9999on the sender.Can chuck a gzip in the pipeline if you're sending something compressible. It can keep all the file attributes, links, etc with the right tar options.
