Copy To !

Any idea's about using this.
I need to keep an eye on some 'Log' files on my daughters laptop at uni.
In stead of using 'Teamviewer' to look at them what do you think about me adding a 'Hidden' .log-files directory in her Home directory (/home/mydaughter gets backed up each day to our server at home and I could access the logs at home then).
/root/.luckybackup/logs >copy to > /home/mydaughter/.log-files/luckybackup
also
/root/.cron/logs > copy to > /home/mydaughter/.log-files/cron
Can you see any problem in sending 'root' files to a users home directory ?

I suppose that it depends on what's in those log files. If they contain any information which could be of use to an intruder, then it would be a bad idea. Could you encrypt the log files when you copy them?

Nothing important but it's being sent over a 'ssh' link to me anyway.
Can you see other problems, it's going to be an hidden directory so it will not interfere with my daughters files .

If you're using a cron job to effect this, you can always tar/zip the files so that they will not clash or mess up the directory that they are copied into.
