I have a question about Synchronizing Files with Linux. I have a mail
server - the mailboxes are all in /var/spool/mail. Is there a linux
command that would copy the all of the files to the same directory on
another linux box on my network through ip.

I could accomplish this via an ftp script - but so not want to for a
number of reasons.

Please help.

Thank you.

Mark,

Try rsync

first set the RSYNC_RSH variable to ssh, as in

export RSYNC_RSH=SSH

and then look at man rsync for switches like rsync -avz ...
