hi, can someone give example for ssh to copy/ftp files with compress across servers. i did find some eg on net scp [-Cr] /some/file [ more ... ] host.name:/destination/file and -C is for compress - will this use compress? is there a way to use gzip and tell degree of compress. any other suggestion.our network is very slow. thanks. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
