fget(1)
NAME
fgetcmd, fget - download files from the FSP database
SYNOPSIS
fgetcmd [-[f|o]|u|t|n|a|c|r|p] fgetcmd [-[f|o]|u|t|n|a|c|r|p] filename ... fget [-[f|o]|u|t|n|a|c|r|p] fget [-[f|o]|u|t|n|a|c|r|p] filename ...
DESCRIPTION
When used without arguments, a list of file names is read from the
standard input. When arguments are given, the arguments are taken to
be the list of file names. For each file named in the list, fgetcmd
copies the file to the client's current working directory in the client
machine. fgetcmd will perform csh file name globbing based on file and
directory information obtained from the FSP database.
Since user's command shells generally cannot do the proper globbing for
this program, it is recommended that user defines a shell alias or
function to turn off command shell globbing before running this program. csh example:
alias fget \(set noglob\; exec fgetcmd \!\*\)
ARGUMENTS
-p -- preserve date/times of original file.
-f | -o -- forces overwriting of files during an fget.
-u -- forces unique filenames (appends a unique integer to each copy)
-t -- forces overwrite of local file if download is successful. This
has the drawback of possibly leaving behind temporary files with names
like .fsp.####
-n -- forces fgetcmd to refuse to overwrite files with identical names.
-a | -c -- forces fgetcmd to try and append data to a partial file.
-r -- forces fgetcmd to recursively get all files in given directories.
The default mode is for fgetcmd is to create unique file names.
