- I would like to copy a directory (and all its sub-directories) and
- not change the mods or owner. I have tried cp -p but that only
- keeps the mods. I have tried rcp -p but that is the same thing.
- I have tried ftp and that REALLY doesn't work (doesn't keep the
- mods at all!) Is there a way to do this easily without having
- to tar off the directory and import it back under the new one?
-
- If you have any ideas could you email me and I will post a summary
- of what I find out.
-
- Thanks!
