Question, I'm trying to scp output/file from one machine to another without using Net::SCP, any ideas? Example: 
#system("/usr/bin/tmp",$output,"$USER\@$host:/tmp/LOGS/");

While trying to do this in a for loop: 
my @OUTPUT = `ls -ltr /tmp`
        foreach my $output (@OUTPUT) {
        chomp ($output);
        
        system("scp $output user@server:/tmp/LOGS");

        }

No luck..... Let's try this again, I do a ssh over to a host, and grab certain files from /tmp, this works fine, I then want to send these logs to a second host. my @OUTPUT = `ssh $USER\@$host ls -ltr /tmp | grep logs`; foreach my $output (@OUTPUT) { chomp ($output); system("/usr/bin/scp", "--", $output, "user\@host:/home/user/logs"; } I now get "No such file or directory", so your right, I need to put the log itself into a file, any ideas or should I use a different approach? Should I use "find"? Thanks, -- pjzero@90
