Question: How to move all files/folder/sub folder from one server to another? recursively

Once all files are moved I need some notification that its done

: Found some information:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --checksum --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --recursive --times --perms --links /www/kunder/web/* MYHOST:www

Tthe path on MYHOST is relative. If /root is on the same filesystem as /www you
can just mv it. Otherwise you will probably be better off
removing /root/www and starting over. A failure to
preserve ownership is because you didn't tell rsync to do
so. The -a option is a handy shorthand for -rlptgoD
which covers most of the options you will need.

rsync -avH --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh /www/kunder/web/ MYHOST:/www/kunder/web

Would have been what you want. Or perhaps

rsync -avH --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh /www/ MYHOST:/www

--recursive
--times
--perms
--links
are part of -a along with some more options
you needed.

--progress
If you like noise and have BIG files, ok.
Me, i'm satisfied with -v.

--stats
Useful sometimes but not really needed, it
will give you an idea of how much time rsync
saves in the later rsync runs to keep things
up-to-date.

--checksum
Not needed and slows things down
considerably.


If you are going to use a network filesystem just copy
with cp or cpio -p. For rsync you want rsync to handle the
network communications (via ssh).
