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 destina-
tion 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 des-
tination. 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/b
c
a/d/e
!
creates files /tmp/two/a/b, /tmp/two/c, and /tmp/two/a/d/e. The second format is use-
ful 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 follow-
ing 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.
