			Another (better) way to copy files is by using rsync and screen. I am going to use a scenario, say I am going to copy my home to another server.

			On my desktop:

			screen -dR my_home

			Note that my_home could be anything, it's just the name of the screen.
			Then to copy my files:

			rsync -arv /home/jill/* someServer:/home/jill/

			Then to detach from the screen:

			Hold ctrl+A let go and then type d

			You should now be detached from the screen.

			To see a list of your screens type:

			screen -ls

			To reattach to my screen:

			screen -r my_home

			One way to copy files to and from a machine is as follows:

	To copy from the machine you are on		To copy from the machine you are on

	tar czf - dir1 dir2 dir3 \| ssh tbalius@sgehead.bkslab.org "tar xzf - -C path/for/new/files "		tar czf - dir1 dir2 dir3 \| ssh tbalius@sgehead.bkslab.org "tar xzf - -C path/for/new/files "


	To copy from a remote machine to the machine you are on		To copy from a remote machine to the machine you are on


	ssh tbalius@sgehead.uoft.bkslab.org "cd path/to/dir/you/want ; tar czf - diryouwant1 diryouwant2 " \| tar xzf - -C where/it/goes/locally		ssh tbalius@sgehead.uoft.bkslab.org "cd path/to/dir/you/want ; tar czf - diryouwant1 diryouwant2 " \| tar xzf - -C where/it/goes/locally

			This has advantages that it does not copy symbolic links.
			It also compresses the data while copying
