On linux, you can also do a
cp -rpuv. source destination
or script, something like this in good old bash:
ls directory | grep file extension >> copy.txt
list=$(< /full path/copy.txt)
location=/target directory
scp $list user@host:$location
or rsync
rsync -avz --progress -e ssh user@host:source-directory/ /target-directory/
check the slashes at the end, without a new directory is created
Hope this is helpfull
Met vriendelijk groet, with kind regards

Rsync still needs to examine the entire file. It has no information to
know that the file is the same on master and slave.
We could try to give it the appropriate information on which it can make
that assumption -- e.g. keep the timestamps the same so that rsync
assumes the contents are the same. But that seems fragile and I don't
see a good way of doing it, anyway.
We need a way to take a base backup of just the catalogs, essentially,
and leave the user data intact. Probably quite a few details to sort out
though.

rsync can take file that contains a list of files to sync. Is there a convenient way to generate such a control file?
