I am trying to use dolphin to copy a rather large directory (approx. 22<br>
Gb. 2000 files, 500 directories) from my laptop to a server using the<br>
fish:// protocol. When I first attempted the copy it ran for a few<br>
hours and then died due to a network disconnect. Now when I try to do<br>
the copy again, I am getting an error saying that the directory already<br>
exists, which is true, as it looks like dolphin created the<br>
directory structure first, and then starting copying the files. Does<br>
anyone know of a way to resume this copy or is it possible to tell<br>
dolphin to just skip files and directories that already exist at the<br>
destination? If this is not possible with dolphin does anyone have a<br>
suggestion as to a better way to do this copy?<br>

Use rsync. It was made for exactly this kind of job.<div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sounds like we have a consensus. :) I've always been a little intimidated by rsync but I guess now is the time to man up (man rsync) </end bad pun></div>
