I have uploads some files using ”ipfs files“ on node1， And how can I see the files （with directory ）on node2 using “ipfs files"？

If you wanna do one-click i.e. add once added everywhere, synchronization, you can use multi-node orchestration tools such as IPFS cluster [https://cluster.ipfs.io/](https://cluster.ipfs.io/)

I also want to keep the file information， i.e. the directory structure.

Then run `ipfs-cluster-ctl add -r <PATH_TO_YOUR_FOLDER>`

Sorry, my english is poor. and I mean when I create directory and files using command “ipfs fils” on node A, I want to see them on node B using “ipfs files”. Such as ,  
on node A, I create a firectory and a file.

> \>ipfs files mkdir /abc  
> \>echo “hello world” | ipfs files write --create /abc/1.txt

then execute “ipfs files ls /abc”, will show the result

> 1.txt

I can also see the same thing on node B.

> \>ipfs files ls /abc  
> 1.txt

There’s a rather long winded discussion [here](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/is-it-possible-to-share-the-mfs-from-one-node-to-another/10513/28) with some steps
