get

A special case of cp that copies a DSEFS remote file to the local file system. If a relative source path is given, it is resolved in the last DSEFS working directory, regardless of the current working directory. Similarly, if a relative destination path is given, it is always resolved in the last local working directory. File paths can be absolute and can point to any file system.

Synopsis

get <source_filepath> <destination_filepath>

Options

destination_filepath

Absolute or relative file path.

If the destination path ends with a name, the destination entry is given that name. If the destination path ends with a backslash (/), the original source file name is used.

Wildcard characters are supported. For absolute paths, file system prefixes dsefs: and file: are supported. .. is the parent directory.

source_filepath

Absolute or relative file path.

Wildcard characters are supported. For absolute paths, file system prefixes dsefs: and file: are supported. .. is the parent directory.

Examples

Copy DSEFS remote file to local filesystem:

dsefs dsefs://127.0.0.1:5598/ > dsefs / > get archive.tgz local_archive.tgz
