Copy a File Over the Network? (Linux+ Objective 1.2.5)

[@unrealbot3027]

The value you are providing for the community cannot be described with mere words of gratitude man. I'm in my mid 20's and finally decided to not be a suckup and get my life together and learn something worthwhile, hence my comptia journey. And finding a course that covered all the objectives in detail was a pain until I stumbled upon your course based on a reddit recommendation and I'm glad I did. Lots of love and respect from India Shaun.

The info on netcat actually came in use when i couldnt get scp to work with certs. This is a great work around if you at least have ssh working. Thanks

Great series, too content💯

I love this series

[@shawnp0wers]

Thank you! (Me too, honestly -- I've done long courses like this when I was a professional trainer, but never been able to make them freely available before.)

Amazing content @Shawn

[@zaxwrld]

Ngl I’m a Linux fiend and am not currently trying for my Linux + but definitely love the work.

[@HopliteSecurity]

This was awesome, great work!

[@shawnp0wers]

Thank you!

I use rsync -haux --progress so much, I've aliases it to 'rs'. Due to the occasional accident (typing 'rm' instead of 'rs') I found I had to add two more aliases so that deleting is done via 'remove', and 'rm' would print a message telling you to use 'remove'.

[@shawnp0wers]

Cool! And aliases are going to be a KZbin short I cover this week. This is a perfect example of why they're so useful!

[@mudasir2168]

good job!

[@shawnp0wers]

Thanks!

[@josesaopedro1446]

Thank you:)

[@shaneyb_80]

Handy to know, it seems rsync would allow for a manual / scripted backup between folders to be setup as well then?

[@shawnp0wers]

Absolutely. Plus, if you add hardlinking, you can make a really efficient incremental backup... (the cp command can make a copy using hard links instead of creating entire new files -- but that's another whole topic. Perhaps a weekend assignment!)

[@scottb4029]

rsync is used in timeshift the system backup package.

[@shawnp0wers]

I believe it, rsync is so very useful. Combined with hardlinking, it's a great tool for incremental backups too!

[@scottb4029]

@@shawnp0wers sounds like rsync could be a series.

[@s2meister]

After all these years trying to explain how to use robocopy to folks I now try to explain how to use scp/rsync via wsl to a linux server. This will help.

[@shawnp0wers]

Yes! I've heard wsl v2 is a bit smoother than the original implementation too, so that will probably help even more.
