Hey,
Ah, in that case then the `sshfs mount && cp -sR` idea is probably going
to work best.

Exactly what I wound up doing, and it works great. The read / write
speed on the files is faster than with ssh through konqueror as well.

??If you don't want to get sshfs running then you could
also try generating the links on the server side then using scp/rsync to
get them. ??Something like:
me@server $ cd /tmp/links && cp -sR /path/to/dir ./ && rsync -a
/tmp/links/ me@laptop:~/links/`hostname`


I thought about doing that when I was reading the rsync manpage and I
saw that the -l option preserves symlinks. I did not test it, though.

sshfs is not at all difficult to get running. I got it working almost
trivially. First I had to learn how to use ssh. Then sshfs got working
before I ever confronted scp. sshfs is the way to go, unless the goal
has not been fully explained.
