I just thought of something the only thing different about the two is the last digit. say xyz1 and xyz2. Could I do something like '

rsync -aHv <user1>@<address1>:/home/xyz*/ /home/xy* <user2>@address2>/home/xyz*

??????????????????????????????????

boy am I lucky.... I didn't run out of room. okay.... I need to rsync two /home directories. The thing is the two directories are named differently at the top. one is /home/x and one is /home/y I want everything under x to look like y. I looked in the man page and I thought I found something but then I looked on and couldn't find it again to investigate further. I thought it was in the 'running as a daemon' section but I couldn't find it again.

If I interpret this question as:
'how would rsync know just what has been modified?'
The answer is: it depends.
rsync will compare timestamps unless you use the --checksum option.
RTFM...
If I interpret this question as:
'how would I know just what rsync has updated?'
You don't, you trust rsync.
I you don't trust rsync (I don't), you can run it twice with the --checksum option (I do) or you can:
ssh user@box 'cd my-path;find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \;|sort' > /tmp/remote.md5
cd my-path;find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \;|sort > /tmp/local.md5
sdiff -s /tmp/remote.md5 /tmp/local.md5
Ang get your banana... :)
Good luck...

You need to use rsync

rsync -av /path/to/localfile user@remotehost:/path/to/remotefile

or alternatively

rsync -av user@remotehost:/path/to/remotefile /path/to/localfile

thanks for the quick responses.... what I meant is like to have duplicate
files on two systems and then make the files the same.

Fast answer:

ssh me@foosystem ‘cat the_Remote_file’ >> localfile

Explanation:

On system ‘foosystem’ (as me), cat the file. On this
system, append that stream of bytes to ‘localfile’.

Should you want to ‘tail –f’ the file on ‘foosystem’, change ‘cat’ to
‘tail –f’. (Or grep, or …)

is there a way to tell scp to add any appended text to an existing
document? (that's called 'merge', right?)
