Exercise: Copy a Tree To Remote Machine (And Adjust Permissions)

Topics

• SSH: Secure Copy (scp)

In Exercise: Verify, Repeat (and the exercise series that preceded it), you created an entire file hierarchy on the local machine (your work machine), rooted at /tmp/parent.

Continuing from there …

• Copy that tree to the remote machine, under the name ~/my-parent-copy. Use the scp command to do this.

• Use one single local ssh command to tune the permissions of the remote tree ~/my-parent-copy (and its contents, recursively) so that others don’t have any permissions to do anything.

  (Hint: you can use the -R option to the chmod command to modify permissions recursively)
