This project is the start of a set of Erlang distribution-
aware command line utilities. The idea is to be able to reference files
accessible on remote Erlang nodes using familiar looking commands like
ls
or cp
.
Remote files are specified as Node:Path
. For example, mynode@host:/tmp/myfile
.
Relative path names are supported.
Currently only one utility is implemented, erlcp
. Use it like you would
cp
, but keep in mind that it doesn't support any command line options. It
doesn't set the magic cookie, so you'll want to set it in your $HOME/.erlang.cookie
file. Here's an example:
erlcp mynode@host:/tmp/randomstats.txt .
