merge documents with scp

[Carruth, Rusty]

Oh.  You want to use rsync, with ssh piping.

 

rsync me at foosystem:remotefile localfile

 

Note that this only copies this way if needed.  Do it the other way:

 

Rsync localfile me at foosystem:remotefile 

 

If you want to go the other way.  If you don't know which way to go, you
MIGHT get away with doing them both.  See the rsync man page...

thanks for the quick responses.... what I meant is like to have
duplicate files on two systems and then make the files the same.

Fast answer:

 

ssh me at foosystem 'cat the_Remote_file' >> localfile

 

Explanation:

 

                On system 'foosystem' (as me), cat the file.  On this
system, append that stream of bytes to 'localfile'.

 

Should you want to 'tail -f' the file on 'foosystem', change 'cat' to
'tail -f'.  (Or grep, or ...)

is there a way to tell scp to add any appended text to an existing
document? (that's called 'merge', right?)
