RE: merge documents with scp

Fast answer:



ssh me@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 ...)

Subject: merge documents with scp



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