Copying Data Between Remote Servers
You can use the ditto command to copy data from one remote server to another. It’s similar
to the cp (copy) command but allows you to keep resource forks intact. The syntax of the
ditto command is as follows:
ditto [-v] [-V] [-rsrc] <file pathname> <target directory>
These parameters can be used with the ditto command:
-v
Prints a line for each file copy (making it easier to see what’s happening).
-V
Prints a line only for special files.
Important Make sure you are logged in to the remote server. Otherwise, when you type
this command you will restart your admin computer.
