Subject: [9fans] import-ing files instead of directories
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 20:18:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a7e11ca2b00874268263fe38afbfbc7b@plan9.ucalgary.ca> (raw)

according to the import(4) man page the command allows an arbitrary
file to be imported from a remote machine (first paragraph of the
description section), however:

	home% touch /tmp/blah2
	home% import plan9 /tmp/blah2
	import: bad remote tree: chdir(10:"/tmp/blah2"): not a directory
	home%

am I missing an argument somewhere?
