NAME

push, pull, Rpush, Rpull − Datakit remote file copy

SYNOPSIS

­push [ ­-v ] ­machine file ... remotedir

­pull [ ­-v ] ­machine file ... localdir

DESCRIPTION

­Push and ­pull copy files between machines over Datakit.  ­Push copies ­files from the local machine to the directory ­remotedir on the named machine. ­Pull copies ­files from the named ­machine to the directory ­localdir on the local machine.  The last component of the name of a copy is the same as that of the original.  If one of the ­files is a directory, a corresponding directory is created and the directory’s files are copied, recursively. 

Option ­-v announces each file as it is copied. 

Pushing and pulling involve two programs running in different contexts on different machines.  In particular, pulling to directory ­.  puts files in the local current directory, but pushing to ­.  puts files in the remote home directory.  Shell metacharacters which are to be interpreted on the remote machine must be quoted. 

­Rpush and ­Rpull are the programs started by remote pushes and pulls.
