I have done my easy script in bash - this script should transfer the file with the specific new name from server 1 to remote server 2.

Can someone help with this and transfer all script to Python.

 #!/bin/bash

path=/opt/log #Im in dir /opt/log
fdate=$(date +%Y%m%d -d "-1 day") # yesterday date
file=maillog-$fdate     # log from yesterday which will be transfer to remote server
cp $path/$file /tmp/$HOSTNAME-$file  # copy $file to /tmp with the specific name of $HOSTNAME + $File name
gzip /tmp/$HOSTNAME-$file      # ZIP the file

rserver=hansus@hansus.edu.net    # remote server 
rpath=/opt/log/maillog # remote path

scp /tmp/$HOSTNAME-$file.gz $rserver:$rpath # copy the file to remote server to remote path

rm /tmp/$HOSTNAME-$file.gz # clean the /tmp dir
 #Done

There are several solutions to this.

One option is unison:

The rsync solution:

You will need to ssh into one of the servers first (this should be trivial). Once in you can run this. 

rsync -rtlzv --ignore-errors -e ssh . username@hostname:/path/to/directory

The scp solution:

I actually think this is the most elegant way because you do not have to ssh in first. Somethibng like this:

nohup scp alice@source:/the/answer/of/all bob@target.example.com:/var/tmp/42 &
