# rfdir(1)

Remote directory list

## NAME

rfdir - Remote directory list

## SYNOPSIS

**rfdir** *directory*\
 **rfdir** *filename*

## DESCRIPTION

The remote directory list program provides an interface to the **shift** remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for listing a remote directory or file. The *filename* or *directory* argument is either a remote file name of the form:

-

  *hostname***:***path*

or a local file name (not containing the :/ character combination). The output from the  **rfdir** command is a full directory listing  similar to that of the **ls -al** command for listing local files or directories.

## SEE ALSO

**[rcp(1)](/rcp/1.md),** **rfiod(1)**

## NOTES

**rfdir** does not support regular expressions **(regexp(5))** in the *directory* or *filename* argument.

The date and time displayed by **rfdir** are for the last modification to the file.
