PUSH(1) PUSH(1) NAME push, pull, npush, npull - datakit remote file copy SYNOPSIS push [ -v ] machine file ... remotedir pull [ -v ] machine file ... localdir npush [ -v ] machine file ... remotedir npull [ -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 differ- ent 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. Npush and npull behave exactly like push and pull, but use a different protocol, necessary for communicating to some other Datakit clusters. FILES link to for remote end of transaction link to SEE ALSO con(1), cp(1), rcp(1), cu(1), uucp(1) DIAGNOSTICS Messages marked `(remote)' are from the sister process run- ning on the remote machine.
