Things you can't easily do on Unix. Copy files from machine A to B, from C.

On machine C

(copyf "A:AMS;*.*#*" "B:AMS;")

#LispMachine revolution is nigh.

@volkris Nooop.... This note the glob. scp takes one file. rsync you say? That will fail if you don't have rsync on the remote...

Copying files on the Lisp Machines used the same function, no matter if it was remote, or not. No matter if you copied recursively, or not. It is all COPYF (or the long form, COPY-FILES)

@amszmidt I'm not trying to scp is a panacea, but it is pretty neat in what it can do, and it can copy entire directories.

@volkris scp is not even close to a panacea. It is using a special command for special hosts. It is not "copy me this file .. damn it!". :-)

And then you might need to toss around -3 or some other annoying switch to make it do right...
