-====== Files \ single folder copying ====== +====== Copy Files / Directories ====== 
- If you need a copy of standalone files or folders, you can use an scp util:\\ +If you need to copy single files or directories, you can use the ''scp'' command:\\ 
  
-''scp -r -v -p root@192.168.0.1:/etc /From_Old_Server'' \\+<code> 
 +scp -r -v -p root@192.168.0.1:/etc /local_dir 
 +</code>
  
-There: +Flag explanation: 
-  *  -r key do recursive , copy all data in "/etc" folder and all its subfolders. +  *  -r: recursive (copy all the content of ''/etc'' including its subdirectories) 
-  *  -p key preserve file attributes, like a creation, modification times. +  *  -p: preserve file attributes (eg. file creation or modification times) 
-  *  -v gives us verbose output. \\+  *  -v: verbose output
  
- In there example we copy "/etc" folder from 192.168.0.1 computer ( actually, "Old" server), to folder "/From_Old_Server" in local computer ( "new" server).\\ +In the example above we copy the ''/etc'' directory located on a remote host (the old server: 192.168.0.1) to the ''/local_dir'' on the local host ("new" server). 
  
-Sadly, but that command ( scp ) cannot copy whole system disk, contains "/proc", "/dev" and even "/lost+found" catalog, who is it in every mounted extX filesystem partition - at that places "scp" stuck and stops.\\  +Please note that the ''scp'' command cannot copy the whole file system hierarchy including ''/proc'', ''/dev'' or ''/lost+found''. Fortunately, there is a workaround which was [[http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/copy-whole-filesystem-via-scp-4175449321/#post4887869|provided]] by Patrick Volkerding.

-Thanks to Patrick, "Volkerdi" gives us workaround for that situation:+
