# opauploadall(8)

## NAME

opauploadall

**(Linux)** Copies one or more files from a group of hosts to this system. Since the file name is the same on each host, a separate directory on this system is created for each host and the file is copied to it. This is a convenient way to upload log files or configuration files for review. This tool can also be used in conjunction with opadownloadall to upload a host specific configuration file, edit it for each host, and download the new version to all the hosts.

**NOTE:** To copy files from this host to hosts in the cluster, use opascpall or opadownloadall. user@ style syntax cannot be used when specifying filenames.

## Syntax

opauploadall \[-rp\] \[-f  *hostfile*\] \[-d  *upload\_dir*\] \[-h '*hosts*'\] \[-u  *user*\] *source\_file* ...  *dest\_file*

- \-p

  Performs copy in parallel on all hosts.

- \-r

  Performs recursive upload of directories.

- \-f *hostfile*

  Specifies the file with hosts in cluster.\
   Default is /etc/opa/hosts file.

- \-h *hosts*

- *source\_file*

  Specifies the name of files to copy to this system, relative to the current directory. Multiple files may be listed.

- *dest\_file*

  Specifies the name of the file or directory on this system to copy to. It is relative to  *upload\_dir*/*HOSTNAME* .A local directory within  *upload\_dir*/ is created for each hostname.

  Each uploaded file is copied to upload\_dir/*HOSTNAME*/*dest\_file* within the local system.

-

  If more than one source file is specified or dest\_file has a trailing / , a dest\_file directory will be created.
