Thread: Copy Set Of Files to Multiple Servers Simultaneously

Hey Now I have tried to copy set of files to more than one server at once to reduce time consuming.
i googled but only i can found is a loop. i don't understand to move further.

please educate me on this using a example.

help is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can't. The for loop will just automate the process. To copy file to server1 you will type

Code:

rsync -av /path/to/dir user@server1:/path/to/dest

To copy same to server2, you will type

Code:

rsync -av /path/to/dir user@server2:/path/to/dest

You will use for loop to replace server1, server2, server3:

Code:

for s in server1 server2 server3 
do
  rsync -av /path/to/dir user@${i}:/path/to/dest
done

I suggest that you start learning the shell scripting.

Thanks for the information.

OK can please let me know how can i transfer file between two remote servers ?

Thanks
