Feature to copy/rsync files from multiple hosts to a local host.

Closed this issue · 4 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Its not a problem but a feature request. 
The requirement was to use paraller scp /rsync and copy files from several
remote machines and copy it over to a local machine. prsync/pscp has the
feature of copying files from a machine to multiple machines but not the
other way.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

Based on our email discussion, it sounds like pslurp will do what you need.  If 
it
doesn't, please reopen this report.  Thanks for your participation.

Hello, I'm looking for a similar feature, pslurp does this, but need to open a 
ssh channel from the remote host to the local host.

What I would like though, is to open an ssh channel from the local host to the 
remote, and fetch the files via rsync (from the remote to the local).

rsync does it for one machine, it would be so great to have a parallel-rync 
which does it the other way round, but opening just one ssh session.

Can you confirm that you've tried using pslurp? All it does is call scp for 
each remote host. The scp command is run on the local host and connects to the 
remote host, so I think I don't fully understand the distinction. Could you 
clarify? Thanks.
