NIO CommKit Host Interface Installation and System Administration Manual

PUSH(1C) PUSH(1C)

E-16 CommKit Host Interface, Release 4.0

If, in following a path that contains a symbolic link that points to a directory, the source

machine finds a directory that has already been transferred, it will not transfer it a second

time. The source machine, however, will always transfer directories in a path that does not

contain a symbolic link even if that directory has already been transferred while following

a path that does contain a symbolic link. In both cases the source machine will warn the

user for every affected directory.

The push and pull(1C) commands invoke the pupu program (/opt/dk/bin/pupu) on the remote system to

handle the remote end of all file transfers. If the srvtab(4) file on the remote system invokes the pupu program

with the –r option, file transfers will be restricted to/from the home directory tree on the remote system by

disallowing all paths that begin with a leading ’/’ or that contain an embedded ’..’ specification. In this

restricted mode, only transfers containing PATHs relative to the HOME directory will be accepted.

Multiple Interfaces

If multiple interface boards are installed on the originating host the push command will use the default

processing to select the interface for the out-going call. See dkdial(3X) and authorize(1M) for more

information.

WARNINGS

If the source host is identical to the target destination and the source directory is identical to the target

directory, then the push command will overwrite filename and its contents may be destroyed.

The modification times are preserved on transferred files as long as they are earlier in relative time (i.e.

seconds since the 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970, epoch) than the current relative time on the local machine.

If the modification time for a file would date that file in the future on the local machine, the current time on

the local machine will be used as the file modification time.
