PUSH PUSH (1C)

NAME

push – transfer files to another system

SYNOPSIS

push [ – L ] destination filename ... directory

push [ – L ] destination – directory < file_list

DESCRIPTION

push establishes a data switch circuit to the target (remote) host named in destination and transfers files to that host.

The filenames are files or directories on the source (local) machine. The filenames are placed in the directory on the target machine. If the directory does not begin with a ´/´, it is interpreted relative to the user's HOME directory on the target destination . The directory will be created, if required, before the files are transferred. Specifying a directory as one of the filenames will transfer the entire directory tree beginning at the named point.

The second command format takes the list of files to transfer from the standard input. It differs from the first format, however, in that the position of the files in input pathnames is preserved. For example,

push lxho9 a/b c a/d/e /tmp/one

creates files /tmp/one/b, /tmp/one/c, and /tmp/one/e, while

push lxho9 - /tmp/two <<! a/bc a/d/e

!

creates files /tmp/two/a/b, /tmp/two/c, and /tmp/two/a/d/e. The second format is useful in combination with find(1) to select portions of a directory tree to transfer.

push preserves the file modes and modification times of the files it moves. The original file owner (numeric user ID) is preserved if the effective user ID of the process on the target machine is root. Otherwise the files will be owned by the user's login on the target host.

push preserves the name, type and contents of the files it moves with the following exceptions.

Long Names

If the target machine is a SVR4 implementation but the target file system does not support file names greater than 14 characters and the source machine transfers a file with a name greater then 14 characters, the file name will be truncated to 14 characters. The remote side will warn the user for each file name that is truncated.
