You need to use -r to recursively copy.

Subject: Re: [Xymon] how to migrate historical data
I tried using scp to copy the following directories over to the new server.
/var/lib/xymon/hist/
/var/lib/xymon/histlogs/
/var/lib/xymon/rrd/
But I keep getting 'not a regular file' errors on the rrd and histlogs files. I need the rrd data. The graphs are really all I care about.
Thank you.

I've built a second Xymon server that I plan to use as my primary, but I
need to pull all the historical data from the old one. What's a quick

and have the old one just pump all the data over?
Just copy the data directory.
If the rrd's are not compatibel (32 bit -> 64 bit) you can export the rrd to
xml on the old server, transfer the xml file and import the xml to an rrd. I
juist did that for one of our customers :)
