I'm mostly finished setting up a new desktop PC, after which an<br>
ancient PC will go to the York Region ewaste centre. One problem I ran<br>
into whilst copying over files is that "dot-files", e.g. .bash_profile<br>
and .bashrc are not copied over when I specify "*". What I ended up<br>
doing was...<br>
<br>
scp * new_machine:/home/waltdnes/<br>
scp \.* new_machine:/home/waltdnes/<br>
<br>
Is there a simpler way that works with 1 command?<br>

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications<br>
