It limits what it exports by chdir'ing to the directory being exported and only exporting from there down. Is exporting a single file important to you or would you accept me just changing the man page? --upas-spffrvrwnwtxfoxxgmkcetizjn Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Thu Jan 22 23:13:42 EST 2004 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Thu Jan 22 23:13:38 EST 2004 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id BDBCD19E35; Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:13:24 -0500 (EST) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 2D05E19E30; Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:13:10 -0500 (EST) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 12F8F199D7; Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:12:51 -0500 (EST) Received: from home.plan9.ucalgary.ca (unknown [136.159.220.110]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id DB47D19CBF for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:12:38 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: mirtchov@cpsc.ucalgary.ca MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] import-ing files instead of directories Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 20:18:24 -0700 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.8 required=5.0 tests=NO_REAL_NAME version=2.55 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) 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? --upas-spffrvrwnwtxfoxxgmkcetizjn--
