NAME

       pcp - copy files

SYNOPSIS

       pcp [-d LEVEL] [-p DEVNAME] [-h] [:]SOURCE [[:]DESTINATION]

DESCRIPTION

       pcp  copies  a  file  on  a device connected through SynCE or between a
       device connected through SynCE and host PC.

       Forward slashes (’/’) in remote file names  specified  on  the  command
       line are converted to backward slashes (’\’).

       This tool must be run as the same user as the dccmd daemon.

OPTIONS

       -r     Copy directories recursively.

       -d LEVEL
              Set debug log level:

              0 - No logging (default)

              1 - Errors only

              2 - Errors and warnings

              3 - Everything

       -p DEVNAME
              Use the device with the given name, instead of the default.

       -h     Display help message.

       [:]SOURCE

              Full  path to the source filename. When the filename is prefixed
              with a colon (’:’), it will be treated  as  a  remote  filename,
              otherwise as a local filename.

       [:]DESTINATION

              Full  path  to  the  destination  filename. When the filename is
              prefixed with a colon (’:’), it will  be  treated  as  a  remote
              filename, otherwise as a local filename.

              If  this  parameter is omitted and the source filename is local,
              the local file will be copied to a file with the  same  name  in
              the  "My  Documents"  directory  on the device connected through
              SynCE.

              If this parameter is omitted and the source filename is  remote,
              the  remote  file will be copied to a file with the same name in
              the current directory.

EXAMPLES

       Copy a file from host computer to remote device:

              pcp download/game.cab ":/Temporary Files/game.cab"

       Copy a file from remote device to host computer:

              pcp ":/My Documents/snore.wav" /tmp/snore.wav

       Copy a file from host computer to remote device into the "My  Document"
       folder - you can leave off the last parameter:

              pcp "work/mytext.txt"

       Copy  a  file  from  remote  device  to  host computer into the current
       directory - you can leave off the last parameter:

              pcp ":/My Documents/snore.wav"

       Copy a file from one location on the remote device to another:

              pcp         ":/My         Documents/important.pwi"         ":/My
              Documents/important.backup.pwi"
