-- <file_source> <file_dest>
DESCRIPTION
mput
copies
file_source
from the user host to
file_dest
on hosts specified with -m option.
You should give an absolute path for
file_dest
Mput
connect to every host and launch mput on them.
Each host connects to the one before (considering the order
given by the user).
For example, in mput -m host1 -m host2 -- <file_source> <file_dest>
host2 connects to host1 which connects to the user host.
When the chain is ready, the file is slipted on the user host and each packet
is sent to host1 which sends it to host2 and writes it on disk. Host2 receives all
packet and writes them on disk.
Mput is synchronized. If one host can't be connected then the spreading is aborted.
By default mput uses rsh protocol to join launch mput on hosts.
You must be in root group to use mput as it uses reserved ports.
Mput
normally terminates when the file is copied on all hosts.
The options are as follows:
- -c
-
The
-c
option allow you to choose what kind of connector you want to use to contact an host.
The available values are :
rshs
synchrone rsh connection
rsha
asynchrone rsh connection
rsht
asynchrone rsh connection using threads
rshf
forking rsh connection
ssh
forking ssh connection
ssf

The
-v
option turns on the verbose mode:
write
< hostname > [node_id : id] :->:
before output buffer.
- -P
-
The
-P
option turns on the profiling mode, actually only the execution time.
- -i
-
Let fd opened by application when the exec command is use.
WARNING don't use it if you don't know what you do ;-)
- -l
-
By default, the remote username is the same as the local username.
The
-l
option allows the remote name to be specified.
- -m

The
-m
option specifies one host.
This option can be increased with suboptions
