I have 2 servers DEV1 and DEV2, both having a user name called TOM.
The home for user TOM is /home/TOM on both servers. On DEV1, there is a subdirectory in TOM called INVOICE which I need to copy over to DEV2. (I needed all the files and subdirectories that come under INVOICE to be transferred onto DEV2. (Currently there is no INVOICE directory in DEV2)
So after this is done, DEV2 should have /home/TOM/INVOICE

I am specifically seeking a way to do this using the rcp command. How do I do it?
Thank you

Try this :

Thank you Aigles. I will try it and let you know tomorrow morning.

When using this command, after DEV2: should i give a path as to where the directory needs to go ?

If you don't specify a path, the directory is created in the home directory of user TOM on DEV2.

Ok. Got you.
Just in case if I wanted it in /usr/dev/ directory which is not a home,
do i mention it as
(from DEV1)
rcp -r INVOICE DEV2:/usr/dev

Thank you

The command OK (but i think that /usr/dev is not a destination to use)
