Thanks to all who replied. I tried scp as suggested and found the
permissions to be copied across o.k., but owner & group to be changed.
I suppose that's no big deal for this particular application but I've
decided to go with tar anyhow because it will do (slowly, perhaps)
exactly what I want but more importantly because I'm already familiar
with it and comfort counts.
Thanks again.
