How to automate secure copy (SCP) saved search results on ServerA to ServerB?

Hello

I am trying to figure out how I can do this:
I have a saved search that runs on server A and I want to automate secure copy (scp) those results to server B. How can I accomplish this? All I want to do is simply scp the results from one folder to a different folder on a different server.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

Thanks for the assistance!

Hi, There are multiple ways you can do this. You are essentially running a command on a schedule... if you want to go the SCP route. Set up the access via SSHKeys and you can either use crond, or any scheduler even splunk scheduler or a script .

scp -r serverA/ user@serverB:/destination

Taking a guess at what you are trying to do, it might be better just to use a mapped/mounted drive that can be accessed from both locations.
