[Nottingham] chroot-ed file transfer

[Dylan Swift]

Hi Martin,

most openssh implementations will also allow scp:

for a push operation:
scp [options] /path/to/file <user>@<host>:/path/to/file/location/

for pull, just swap the last 2 parameters


rsync can also specify ssh as a transfer protocol:
rsync [options] /path/to/file <user>@<host>:/path/to/file/location

OR

rsync [options] -e "ssh <ssh options>" /path/to/file <host>:/path/to/file
OR
rsync [options] -e "ssh <ssh options> <host>" /path/to/file /path/to/file


Note that you need to be careful with trailing /'s in rsync
Note that neither of these are chrooted. If you have permissions to write to
a part of the filesystem then you can specify that in the path on the remote
target
