I have been trying this with no luck so I thought the guru's here may
have a solution.

I have loads of files on one server and I want to transfer them to a
new server BUT I want to store each type of file in one directory. So
on the new server I will have a directory png.files and want to more
all files from old server to this new server with a flat structure (
no sub-directories under png.files )
As the number of files is large "tar" gives up. "locate" and "find"
have problems with "white spaces" in the file names. The nearest I
came to solution was with a google search that pointed me to try:

rsync -avzP remote:'`find -iname "*.png"`' /path/to/local/directory

(there is ' and then ` at the beginning that may not render properly
and reversed order at end of find)

This unfortunately does not run remotely while run on local gives
output in form of desired listing. "scp" also does not yield anything
useful.

Thanks for any pointer.

Of course once I am able to over come the basic hassle then I also
have to try using the update flag to only transfer latest file from
multitude of directories.
