DESCRIPTION

The remote file I/O copy program provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for transferring files between remote and/or local hosts. Each filename or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form:

  • hostname:path

or a local file name (not containing the :/ character combination). The standard input is supported with the - character. Then directory in output is not supported.
